Which of the following conversions need the reagent $\mathrm{Sn} / \mathrm{HCl}$ ?

  • A
    $\mathrm{R}-\mathrm{CO}-\mathrm{NH}_2 \rightarrow \mathrm{R}-\mathrm{CH}_2-\mathrm{NH}_2$
  • B
    $\mathrm{R}-\mathrm{C} \equiv \mathrm{N} \rightarrow \mathrm{R}-\mathrm{CH}_2-\mathrm{NH}_2$
  • Correct answer
    C
    $\mathrm{R}-\mathrm{NO}_2 \rightarrow \mathrm{R}-\mathrm{NH}_2+2 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$
  • D
    $\mathrm{R}-\mathrm{CO}-\mathrm{HN}_2 \rightarrow \mathrm{R}-\mathrm{NH}_2$

Solution

$\mathrm{R}-\mathrm{NO}_2 \stackrel{\mathrm{Sn} / \mathrm{HCl}}{\longrightarrow} \mathrm{R}-\mathrm{NH}_2+2 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$

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