How do you convert Aniline To Benzoic Acid?

To convert aniline to benzoic acid, you can first oxidize aniline to nitrobenzene using nitric acid. Then, reduce nitrobenzene to aniline, and subsequently perform a hydrolysis reaction to convert it to benzoic acid. Alternatively, you can oxidize aniline directly to benzoic acid using strong oxidizing agents like potassium permanganate (KMnO4) in an alkaline medium.
