    The reagent that reacts with nitromethane to form methyl hydroxylamine is            

    A)  \[Zn/HCl\]

    B) \[Zn/N{{H}_{4}}Cl\]

    C)  \[Zn/NaOH\]

    D)  \[Sn/HCl\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     Nitromethane forms methyl hydroxylamine on reduction in neutral medium with \[Zn/N{{H}_{4}}Cl.\] \[\underset{\text{nitromethane}}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}N{{O}_{2}}}}\,+4[H]\xrightarrow[\Delta ]{Zn,N{{H}_{4}}Cl}\] \[\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  N-\text{methyl}\,\text{hydroxyl} \\  \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\text{amine} \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}NHOH}}\,+{{H}_{2}}O\]
