Benzamide on reaction with POC l_ 3 gives

Benzamide on reaction with \text{POC}{\text{l}_{3} gives

Options

  1. Aaniline
  2. Bchlorobenzene
  3. Cbenzyl amine
  4. Dbenzonitrile

Correct answer

D. benzonitrile

Step-by-step solution

Benzamide on treatment with \text{POC}{\text{l}_{3} gives benzonitrile (phenyl cyanide) because in this reaction \text{POC}{\text{l}_{3} acts as a dehydrating agent and on dehydration of benzamide, benzonitrile is formed.
