Q. $C_{6}H_{5}NO_{2}\overset{Sn/HCl}{\rightarrow}C_{6}H_{5}X$ ‘X ’ is identified as
A) NO
B) $- NH_{2}$
C) NHOH
D) None of these
Explanation
(b)
$C_{6}H_{5}NO_{2}\underset{\lbrack H\rbrack}{\overset{Sn/HCl}{\rightarrow}}C_{6}H_{5}NH_{2}$
Nitrobenzene Aniline
Nitrobenzene in reduction with Sn and HCI produce aniline. Hence, ‘X ’ is identified as $–NH_{2}$ group.
