Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The steps involved in the mechanism for the conversion of benzaldehyde to benzoic acid are to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

>

Electrophiles are electron deficient species which has positive or partially positive charge. Lewis acids are electrophiles which accept electron pair.

>

Nucleophiles are electron rich species which has negative or partially negative charge. Lewis bases are nucleophiles which donate electron pair.

>

Nucleophilic addition reaction is a addition reaction where electron deficient or electrophilic double or triple bond reacts with electron rich species (nucleophile), with disappearance of the double bond and creation of two single bonds.

>

In the presence of peroxy acids, the oxygen atom enters the phenylic carbon and leads to the oxidation of the compound.

>

Peroxy acid are the acids which contains an acidic OOH group.
