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
