### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Reactants**: The Schotten-Baumann reaction involves aniline (C6H5NH2) and benzoyl chloride (C6H5COCl). 2. **Understanding the Reaction Mechanism**: In this reaction, the nitrogen atom in aniline has a lone pair of electrons, which makes it a nucleophile. Benzoyl chloride contains a carbonyl group (C=O) and a chlorine atom (Cl), where the carbon atom is electrophilic due to the electron-withdrawing effect of the chlorine. 3. **Nucleophilic Attack**: The lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom of aniline attacks the electrophilic carbon atom of benzoyl chloride. This forms a tetrahedral intermediate. ...
