Benzene on bromination formed bromobenzene and after that we have to react with Mg in presence of ether it becomes Grignard reagents (R-MgX). Grignard reagents react with carbon dioxide (dry ice) to form salts of carboxylic acids, which on acidic hydrolysis gives benzoic acid. On esterification, it gives methyl benzoate.
