-
Benzoylation of amines is a reaction where a benzoyl group (C6H5CO-) is introduced into the amine.
-
This reaction is typically carried out using benzoyl chloride (C6H5COCl) in the presence of a base.
Explanation:
The benzoylation of amines can be performed in both aqueous and non-aqueous mediums. Here, bases such as NaOH are used in an aqueous medium, while organic bases or other non-aqueous conditions may be used as well. Therefore, the reaction is not limited to a specific type of medium.
Option 1 (Only aqueous medium) and Option 2 (Only non-aqueous medium) do not fully capture the versatility of this reaction.
Option 4 (HOH / MeOH only) is restrictive and does not cover all suitable solvents.
Conclusion:
Benzoylation can occur in both aqueous and non-aqueous media, allowing flexibility in the choice of reaction conditions.
Thus, the correct answer is: Both aquous and non-aqueous medium.
