Write chemical reaction of aniline with benzoyl chloride and write the name of the product obtained.

Correct Answer

Aniline undergoes benzoylation reaction with benzoyl chloride. The chemical reaction is:

C6H5NH2+C6H5COCl→C6H5NHCOC6H5+HCl\text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{NH}_2 + \text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{COCl} \rightarrow \text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{NHCOC}_6\text{H}_5 + \text{HCl}

The product obtained is N-Phenylbenzamide.

Explanation

The textbook context explicitly states that 'Amines also react with benzoyl chloride (C₆H₅COCl). This reaction is known as benzoylation.' The example given shows methanamine reacting with benzoyl chloride to form N-Methylbenzamide. Following the same pattern, aniline (benzenamine, C₆H₅NH₂) reacts with benzoyl chloride to form N-Phenylbenzamide. The naming follows the convention where the phenyl group attached to nitrogen is indicated by 'N-Phenyl' prefix to benzamide.

Solution Steps

  1. Step 1: Identify the reaction type - benzoylation (reaction of amines with benzoyl chloride)

  2. Step 2: Write the balanced chemical equation showing aniline + benzoyl chloride → N-Phenylbenzamide + HCl

  3. Step 3: Name the product following IUPAC nomenclature - N-Phenylbenzamide
