    Nitrobenzene on treatment with zinc dust and aqueous ammonium chloride gives-

    A)  \[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}N=N-{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}\]

    B)  \[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}N{{H}_{2}}\]

    C)  \[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}NO\]

    D)  \[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}NHOH\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    When nitrobenzene is reduced with a neutral reducing agent (\[Zn\] dust \[+N{{H}_{4}}Cl,\,\,Al-Hg\] couple and water), pheylhydroxylamine is formed. \[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}N{{O}_{2}}+2[H]\xrightarrow[+N{{H}_{4}}Cl-{{H}_{2}}O]{Zn\,\,dust}\underset{Nitrosobenzene}{\mathop{{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}NO}}\,\]                                       \[\xrightarrow{2[H]}\underset{Phenyl\,hydroxyla\min e}{\mathop{{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}NHOH}}\,\]
