The following reaction [figure] is known by the name
- Perkin's reaction
- Acetylation reaction
- Schotten-Baumann reaction
- Friedel-Craft's reaction
Answer
(3) Schotten-Baumann reaction
Solution
Aniline is benzoylated by benzoyl chloride in the presence of aqueous NaOH to give benzanilide (C6H5NHCOC6H5).
C6H5NH2 + C6H5COCl NaOH C6H5NHCOC6H5 + HCl
As per NCERT, this benzoylation is carried out in the presence of a base, which removes the HCl formed and shifts the equilibrium to the right. Acylation of an amine (or phenol) with an acid chloride in aqueous alkali is called the Schotten–Baumann reaction.
