Step-by-step solution
Bromobenzene reacts with magnesium in dry ether (diethyl ether) to form phenylmagnesium bromide, often abbreviated as PhMgBr . The resulting phenylmagnesium bromide reacts with carbon dioxide in the presence of an acidic medium to form benzoic acid. Heating benzoic acid with ammonia can lead to a reaction known as the Schotten-Baumann type reaction, which is a method for the amidation of carboxylic acids. In this reaction, the carboxylic acid group of benzoic acid reacts with ammonia to form an amide, benzamide, un
