Benzyl chloride to benzyl alcohol

Hint: Benzyl alcohol is an organic compound in which a hydroxyl group is attached to a $ - $ group which is attached to the benzene ring. This cannot be done in one step. It involves several processes and formation of different compounds. Complete step by step answer: The structures of benzene and benzyl alcohol are given below: Benzene is a very stable organic compound. Thus it is very difficult for the direct substitution of the hydroxyl group. So it takes place in several steps: First we have to do the Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction of benzene. This is done by reacting the benzene with $$ in the presence of aluminium chloride as catalyst. So the methyl group gets substituted in the benzene ring. The chemical reaction is given below: Now this toluene is oxidized with potassium permanganate solution to give benzoic acid. The methyl group outside the benzene ring gets oxidized to form a carboxylic acid. This reaction must be in the basic medium followed by the addition of acidic hydrogen ions. We can use any oxidizing agents, but for oxidation of benzene, $$ is used. Note: There is another method for converting toluene to benzyl alcohol. Toluene is chlorinated first and then it is heated with aqueous sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide. When toluene is chlorinated, it forms benzyl chloride and then it forms benzyl alcohol when it reacts with sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide. The chemical reaction is given below:

Background Alcohols are widely used, and sometimes renewable, reagents but the hydroxyl moiety is a relatively poor leaving group under mild conditions. Direct nucleophilic substitution of alcohols is a desirable reaction for synthetic and process chemists. Results Synthesis of twelve alkyl and benzyl halides was achieved in [Bmim]PF 6 (Bmim = 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium) from their parent alcohols using ammonium halides as the halogenating agents. Trends in reactivity based on the alcohol and halide were discovered. Mechanistic evidence suggests that the reaction proceeds via S N2 substitution of the hydroxyl group, which is activated via hydrogen-bonding with the acidic proton of the imidazolium cation. Also, for benzyl substrates, equilibria involving formation of dibenzyl ether complicate the reactions and reduce optimum yields. Conclusions Ammonium halides are useful, solid and relatively safe reagents for the conversion of some primary alcohols to organohalides in ionic liquids (yields up to 81 %). Indanol under the same conditions yields biindenylidene (GC yield 63 %). Alcohols are widely encountered chemicals and are useful intermediates in modern organic synthesis due to their ability to be transformed into a wide range of products. Furthermore, many renewable feedstocks contain hydroxyl moieties. Unfortunately, hydroxyl groups are not favourable leaving groups under mild conditions. This usually means, for nucleophilic substitution reactions, that the alcohol...
