Organic Reaction Descriptions
(I) Dehydration of Acetic Acid
When acetic acid is treated with phosphorus pentoxide (\(P_4O_{10}\)), a dehydrating agent, it forms acetic anhydride:
\[ 2{CH3COOH} \xrightarrow{P_4O_{10}} ({CH3CO})_2{O} \]
(II) Reaction of Phenyl Chloride with Dimethylcadmium
Phenyl chloride (\({C6H5CCl}\)) reacts with dimethyl cadmium (\(({CH3})_2{Cd}\)) to form a methylated aromatic compound. This typically results in the formation of acetophenone (\({C6H5COCH3}\)) or a related methylated derivative, depending on the conditions.
(III) Formation of Benzamide
On strong heating, a benzoyl compound or related acid derivative can undergo conversion to an amide. The resulting product is benzamide:
\[ {C6H5CONH2} \]
