Q. Consider the following reaction $C_6H_5NO_2 \xrightarrow{Sn/HCl} X \xrightarrow{C_6H_5COCl} Y + HCl$
What is Y ?

Amines

Solution:

Nitrobenzene is reduced to aniline when passed through tin and hydrochloric acid .
$C _{6} H _{5} NO _{2} \xrightarrow{ Sn / HCl } C _{6} H _{5} NH _{2}$
Followed by $C _{6} H _{5} COCl$ gives,
$C _{6} H _{5} NH _{2} \xrightarrow{ C _{6} H _{5} COCl }C _{6} H _{5} NHCOC _{6} H _{5}$
