Identify product 'B' in the following sequence of reactions.
Aniline→NaNO2+HCl, 273 KA→H2O, ΔB+N2↑\text{Aniline}\xrightarrow{\large{\text{NaNO}_2+\text{HCl},\ 273\ \text{K}}}A\xrightarrow{\large{\text{H}_2\text{O},\ \Delta}}B+\text{N}_2\uparrow

Options

  1. ASodium phenoxide
  2. BPhenol
  3. CBenzenediazonium chloride
  4. DNitrobenzene

Correct answer

B. Phenol

Step-by-step solution

Aniline reacts with NaNO2\text{NaNO}_2 and HCl\text{HCl} at 273 K273\ \text{K} to undergo diazotization, forming benzenediazonium chloride as product A.

C6H5NH2→NaNO2+HCl, 273 KC6H5N2+Cl−\text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{NH}_2 \xrightarrow{\text{NaNO}_2 + \text{HCl},\ 273\ \text{K}} \text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{N}_2^+\text{Cl}^- (Product A)

Benzenediazonium chloride (A) on heating with water undergoes hydrolysis to yield phenol as product B along with the evolution of nitrogen gas.

C6H5N2+Cl−→H2O, ΔC6H5OH+N2↑+HCl\text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{N}_2^+\text{Cl}^- \xrightarrow{\text{H}_2\text{O},\ \Delta} \text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{OH} + \text{N}_2\uparrow + \text{HCl}

Thus, product B is phenol.
