Q. The product formed in the reaction of glycine with benzoyl chloride $+ aq.\ NaOH$ is
A) PhCOCH_{2} NH_{2}
B) PhCH_{2}NH_{2}
C) PhCONHCH_{3}
D) PhCONHCH_{2}CO_{2}H
Explanation
(d)
Glycine reacts with benzoyl chloride in the presence of aq. NaOH to give benzoylglycine (Hippuric acid).
$HOOC\ .CH_{2}NH_{2} + \ PhCOCl\ \underset{\mathrm{\Delta}}{\overset{\ \ \ \ \ Aq.NaOH\ \ \ \ \ }{\rightarrow}}\ PhCONHCH_{2}COOH + HCl$
Glycine benzoyl chloride benzoyl glycine (Hippuric acid)
