The sequence of reagents required to convert aniline to benzene nitrile are

  • A
    $\mathrm{NaNO}_2+\mathrm{HCl}, 293-298 \mathrm{~K}$; $\mathrm{CuCN} / \mathrm{KCN}$
  • Correct answer
    B
    $\mathrm{NaNO}_2+\mathrm{HCl}, 273-278 \mathrm{~K}$; $\mathrm{CuCN} / \mathrm{KCN}$
  • C
    $\mathrm{NaNO}_2+\mathrm{HCl}, 273-298 \mathrm{~K}$; $\mathrm{Cu} / \mathrm{HCN}$
  • D
    $\mathrm{Cl}_2 / \mathrm{Fe}$; $\mathrm{KCN}$

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