How is benzoic acid converted to aniline and benzylamine?

Answer»

Solution :BENZOIC acid on heating with ammonia gives benzamide which PRODUCES aniline with BROMINE and alkali.
`C_(6)H_(5)COOH + NH_(3) overset(Delta)rarr C_(6)H_(5)CONH_(2) underset(NaOH)overset(Br_(2))rarr C_(6)H_(5)NH_(2)`
Benzyl amine is formed when benzamide is reduced.
`C_(6)H_(5)CONH_(2) overset(LiAlH_(4))rarr C_(6)H_(5)CH_(2)NH_(2)`
