Benzamide to benzoic acid | CLASS 12 | CONVERSIONS | CHEMISTRY | Doubtnut

Describe how the following conversions are carried out : (i) Toluene to benzoic acid (ii) Bromobenzene to benzoic acid (iii ) Ethylcyanide to ethanoic acid (iv ) butan -1- ol to butanoic acid

Arrange the following acids in order of the increasing acidity: A= o-nitro benzoic acid, B = p-nitro benzoic acid, C= p-hydroxy benzoic acid, D= benzoic acid

The conversion of acetophenone into benzoic acid can be achieved by its reaction with :

Carry out the following conversation. Phenol to aspirin Benzoic acid to meta- fluorobenzoic acid in not more than three steps.

Although p-hydroxy benzoic acid is less acidic than benzoic acid, ortho hydroxy benzoic acid (salicylic acid) is about 15 times more acidic than benzoic acid. Explain.
