Question

Benzaldehyde can be converted to benzonitrile by treatment with (A) NH 3 (B) NH 3 followed by reaction with C 6 H 5 SO 2 Cl (C) NH 2 OH followed by reaction with acetic anhydride (D) NH 2 OH

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

When benzaldehyde reacts with NH 2 OH (hydroxyl amine) then oxime is formed. Further oxime gives benzonitrile on heating. <img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="image" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/img/question/chemistry/7c4290364296de7692216785b82c1373-.png" />

Q. Benzaldehyde can be converted to benzonitrile by treatment with

$N H_{3}$

$N H_{3}$ followed by reaction with $C_{6} H_{5} S O_{2} Cl$

$N H_{2} O H$ followed by reaction with acetic anhydride

$N H_{2} O H$

When benzaldehyde reacts with $N H_{2} O H$ (hydroxyl amine) then oxime is formed. Further oxime gives benzonitrile on heating.
