Q11 / 90 · JEE Main 2023 (13 Apr Shift 2) · Chemistry

Compound A from the following reaction sequence is :

Figure

  • A
    Benzoic Acid
  • B
    Aniline
  • C
    Salicylic Acid
  • Correct answer
    D
    Phenol

Solution

When aniline treated with bromine, the reaction results in the formation of 2,4,6-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 HCl at a temperature below 5°C. Benzene diazonium chloride reacts with H3PO2 in aqueous medium to form benzene.

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