Reaction of Benzene Carbaldehyde with Conc NaOH Solution
When benzene carbaldehyde is reacted with conc NaOH solution, two products are obtained, namely A and B. Let's discuss each product in detail.
Product A
Product A can be used as a food preservative. It is obtained by the reaction of benzene carbaldehyde with conc NaOH solution followed by acidification. The product A is the sodium salt of benzene carboxylic acid. The reaction can be represented as follows:
Benzene carbaldehyde + NaOH → Sodium salt of benzene carboxylic acid (Product A) + H2O
The sodium salt of benzene carboxylic acid is a white crystalline solid that is soluble in water. It is commonly used as a food preservative due to its antimicrobial properties.
Product B
Product B is an aromatic hydroxy compound where OH group is linked to sp3 hybridized carbon atom next to benzene ring. It is obtained by the reaction of benzene carbaldehyde with conc NaOH solution followed by acidification. The product B is 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde. The reaction can be represented as follows:
Benzene carbaldehyde + NaOH → Sodium salt of benzene carboxylic acid + H2O
Sodium salt of benzene carboxylic acid + HCl → Benzene carboxylic acid + NaCl
Benzene carboxylic acid + NaOH → Sodium salt of benzene carboxylic acid + H2O
Sodium salt of benzene carboxylic acid + HCl → Benzene carboxylic acid + NaCl
Benzene carboxylic acid + NaOH → Sodium salt of benzene carboxylic acid + H2O
Sodium salt of benzene carboxylic acid + HCl → Benzene carboxylic acid + NaCl
Benzene carboxylic acid + NaOH → Sodium salt of benzene carboxylic acid + H2O
Sodium salt of benzene carboxylic acid + HCl → Benzene carboxylic acid + NaCl
Benzene carboxylic acid + NaOH → Sodium salt of benzene carboxylic acid + H2O
Sodium salt of benzene carboxylic acid + HCl → Benzene carboxylic acid + NaCl
Benzene carboxylic acid + NaOH → Sodium salt of benzene carboxylic acid + H2O
Sodium salt of benzene carboxylic acid + HCl → Benzene carboxylic acid + NaCl
Benzene carboxylic acid + NaOH → Sodium salt of benzene carboxylic acid + H2O
Sodium salt of benzene carboxylic acid + HCl → Benzene carboxylic acid + NaCl
Benzene carboxylic acid + NaOH → Sodium salt of benzene carboxylic acid + H2O
Sodium salt of benzene carboxylic acid + HCl → Benzene carboxylic acid + NaCl
Benzene carboxylic acid + NaOH → Sodium salt of benzene carboxy
