SCHOTTEN BAUMANN REACTION MECHANISM

Schotten Baumann reaction mechanism

Schotten Baumann reaction mechanism is a convenient method 
for benzoylation of phenols with benzoyl chloride in presence
of cold aqueous sodium hydroxide. The aqueous alkali reacts 
with the  hydrogen halide produced.

Aromatic amines (both primary and secondary) can also be benzoylated under the conditions of Schotten Baumann reaction mechanism. Aniline forms benzanilide on treatment with benzoyl chloride in 10 % NaOH.
