Phenol is heated with zinc dust to form benzene. Benzene is treated with methyl chloride in presence of anhydrous AlCl₃ to form toluene. ... Toluene is oxidised by alkaline KMnO₄ to form potassium benzoate,which on acid hydrolysis forms benzoic acid.
How do we convert phenol to benzoic acid?
Conversion of phenol into benzoic acid involves following steps.

Step-1:—Reduction of phenol to form benzene.

Phenol is heated with zinc dust to form benzene.



Step-2:—Methylation of benzene.

Benzene is treated with methyl chloride in presence of anhydrous AlCl₃ to form toluene.

3. Reaction of ChloroBenzene with ChloroMethane in presence of Na in dry ether (Wurtz Reaction) to give Toulene.
4. Reaction of Toulene with K2Cr2O7 to produce Benzoic Acid

Phenol to Benzoic Acid….Hmm
