$\text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{COCl}$ reacts with phenol, $\text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{OH}$, to produce the ester phenyl benzoate, $\text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{COOC}_6\text{H}_5$. Complete the mechanism in Fig. 9.1 and include: • every relevant dipole ($\delta^+$ and $\delta^-$) and full electric charge ($+$ and $-$) on the species in box one and in box two • every relevant lone pair on the species in box one and in box two • every relevant curly arrow to show electron-pair movement in box one and in box two • the formula of the second product in box three.
