Solution
a) i) Benzoicacid reacts with NH3 to form ammoniumsalt which on heating decomposes to form benzamide Ph−COOH+NH3⇌Ph−COONH+4Δ−→PhCONH2+H2O ii) Benzene is formylated in Gatterman-Koch formylation reaction, upon treatment with CO and HCl in the presence of anhydrous AlCl3 catalyst. C6H6CO/HCl−−−−−−−−−−−−−−→anhydrousAlCl3/HClC6H5−CHO b) When carbonyl compounds are treated with hydrazine, hydrazone derivates are formed. (CH3)2C=O+H2NNH2→(CH3)2C=N−NH2+H2O
