Identify the reagents (X, Y, Z) used in the conversion of 3-methylaniline to 3-nitrotoluene. array lll X & Y & Z array
Options
- ANaNO ₂, HCl HBF ₄ NaNO ₂, Cu ,
- BNaNO ₃, HCl 273 ~K HF NaNO ₃, Cu ,
- CNaNO ₂, HCl C ₂ H ₅ OH NaNO ₃,
- DNaNO ₃, HCl NaOH C ₆ H ₅ NO ₂
Correct answer
A. NaNO ₂, HCl HBF ₄ NaNO ₂, Cu ,
Step-by-step solution
When 3-methyl aniline is converted to 3-nitrotoluene, the following steps are involved. Hence, aligned & (X)= NaNO ₂, HCl , 273 ~K & (Y)= HBF ₄,(Z)= NaNO ₂, Cu , . aligned Hence, option (a) is the correct answer.
