Reaktionsschritte

To the suspension was added 0.2 mole of di(2-methoxyethoxy)-calcium. On stirring the mixture, the phenyl-sodium reacted and went into solution. On carbonation, followed by treatment with dilute sulfuric acid, the mixture gave 14.6 grams of benzoic acid (a 60% yield, based on the amount of chlorobenzene used), illustrating that the sodium-containing, organometallic product had the same reactivity toward carbon dioxide as does phenyl-sodium.
