Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The reaction of nitrobenzene with iron and hydrochloric acid, followed by base, is known as the reduction of nitrobenzene. In this reaction, the nitro group (-NO2) of the nitrobenzene is reduced to an amino group (-NH2), resulting in the formation of aniline. Therefore, the product of the reaction is option C, aniline. Option A (nitrobenzene), option B (benzene), option D (1,3-dinitrobenzene), and option E (1,4-dinitrobenzene) are not the products of this reaction.
