(a)Explain Mendius reduction with an equation. (b) When aniline is treated with HNO_(2) at 273-278 K, benzene diazoniuin chloride is formed. Write the equation and name the reaction. (c) What is Hinsberg’s reagent?

Answer»

Solution :(a) Reduction of nitriles by sodium in alcohol to GET a primary AMINE is called Mendius reduction.
` R - CN + 4(H) overset("Nainalcohal")(to)R-CH_(2)-NH_(2)`
(b) `C_(6)H_(5)-NH_(2) + NaNO_(2) + 2HCl to C_(6)H_(5)N_(2)Cl + NaCl + H_(2)O`
The name of the reaction is Diazotisation
(c) Benzene sulphonyl chloride [OR] `C_(6)H_(5)SO_(2)CI`
