<span style="font-size:14px;"><strong><span style="color: rgb(32, 33, 36); font-family: arial, sans-serif;">Reactions typical for carboxylic acids apply also to benzoic acid. Benzoate esters are the product of the acid catalysed reaction with alcohols. Benzoic acid amides are usually prepared from benzoyl chloride. Dehydration to benzoic anhydride is induced with acetic anhydride or phosphorus pentoxide.</span></strong></span></p>
