Draw the organic intermediate $\text{M}$ in the box.
Suggest appropriate reagents and conditions for step 1 and step 2.
Identify the reaction type in step 1 and step 2.
$\text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{COCl}$ reacts with phenol, $\text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{OH}$, to form the ester phenyl benzoate, $\text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{COOC}_6\text{H}_5$. Finish the mechanism in Fig. 9.1 and show: • all relevant dipoles ($\delta^+$ and $\delta^-$) together with full electric charges ($+$ and $-$) on the species in box one and in box two • all relevant lone pairs on the species in box one and in box two • all relevant curly arrows to illustrate electron-pair movement in box one and in box two • the formula of the second product in box three.
Name the reaction mechanism.
Benzoyl chloride, chlorobenzene and chloroethane show different hydrolysis rates when each one is added separately to water at $25\,^{\circ}\text{C}$. Suggest their relative ease of hydrolysis. Explain your answer.
