What is the product when C 6 H 5 - C H 2 - N H 2 reacts with nitrous acid?
Options
- AC 6 H 5 - N ≡ N
- BC 6 H 5 - C H 2 - N ⊕ ≡ N
- CC 6 H 5 - C H 2 - O H
- DC 6 H 5 - N H 2
Correct answer
C. C 6 H 5 - C H 2 - O H
Step-by-step solution
Primary amines with nitrous acid undergo diazotisation producing diazonium salt which further dissociates to alcohol and dinitrogen. C 6 H 5 - C H 2 - N H 2 → H N O 2 C 6 H 5 C H 2 N 2 + → C 6 H 5 - C H 2 - O H
