The product (Y) in the benzoylation of aniline is

$C_6H_5NHCOC_6H_5$

The correct answer is Option (3) → $C_6H_5NHCOC_6H_5$

Benzoylation is an acylation reaction in which benzoyl chloride reacts with amines to form amides. Aniline reacts with benzoyl chloride to form: Benzanilide

Reaction: C₆Hâ‚…NHâ‚‚ + C₆Hâ‚…COCl → C₆Hâ‚…NHCOC₆Hâ‚… + HCl
