Q11 / 90 · JEE Main 2023 (13 Apr Shift 2) · Chemistry
Compound A from the following reaction sequence is :

Compound A from the following reaction sequence is :

- ABenzoic Acid
- BAniline
- CSalicylic Acid
- Correct answerDPhenol
Solution
When aniline treated with bromine, the reaction results in the formation of -tribromo phenylamine. This reaction is an example of bromination. The process of conversion of a primary aromatic amino compound into a diazonium salt is known as diazotization. This process is carried out by adding an aqueous solution of sodium nitrite to a solution of primary aromatic amine (e.g., aniline) in excess of at a temperature below . Benzene diazonium chloride reacts with in aqueous medium to form benzene.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
