An organic compound A C 6 H 7 N on reaction with NaNO 2 / HCl at 273 - 278   K followed by warming with water gave B .   B reacts with concentration HNO 3 to give C . What is C ?
Correct answer
0
Step-by-step solution
C 6 H 7 N corresponds to aniline (A). Aniline undergoes diazotisation reaction to give diazonium salt which on hydrolysis produces phenol (B). With concentrated nitric acid, phenol is converted to 2 , 4 , 6 -trinitrophenol (C). The product is commonly known as picric acid.
