Reaction Steps

103.1 Grams of benzonitrile (II-4), 9.51 g of sodium methoxide, 291.5 g of a 35% aqueous hydrogen peroxide solution and 2.78 g of tetra-n-butylammonium chloride were mixed in 309.3 g of methanol. After the completion of the reaction, the formed precipitate was filtered out and washed with water to obtain 116.3 g of benzamide (m.p.: 130° C.) (I-4) in a yield of 96%.
