Question

Write reaction showing conversion of
Benzonitrile into benzoic acid.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Preparation of Benzoic Acid from Benzonitrile

Benzonitrile is converted to benzoic acid by basic hydrolysis. When benzonitrile is heated with aqueous sodium hydroxide solution, it liberates ammonia gas and converts to sodium benzoate which on acidification gives benzoic acid.

Answer 2

Answer:

This is the required reaction of Benzonitrile into benzoic acid.

Explanation:

As per the data given in the question

We have to find reaction of Benzonitrile into benzoic acid.

As per the question

It is given that

Benzonitrile is converted to benzoic acid by basic hydrolysis. When benzonitrile is heated with aqueous sodium hydroxide solution, it liberates ammonia gas and converts to sodium benzoate which on acid and gives benzoic acid.

$C_{6}H_{5}-C$≡N + 2$H_{2}O+dil. HCl$ →$C_{6}H_{5}-COOH+NH_{4}Cl$

Here $C_{6}H_{5}-C$≡N - Benzonitrile

COOH - benzoic acid

Hence, this is the required reaction of Benzonitrile into benzoic acid.
