The oxidation of benzene by V2O5 in the presence of air produces

  1. maleic anhydride
  2. benzoic acid
  3. benzaldehyde
  4. benzoic anhydride.

Answer

(1) maleic anhydride

Solution

Benzene is very stable towards oxidation; with air (oxygen) over V2O5 catalyst at about 773 K the ring is broken and maleic anhydride is formed:

2C6H6 + 9O2 [773 K]V2O5 2C4H2O3 + 4CO2 + 4H2O
