Which of the following reactions is//are correct?

Answer»

a.
b.
c.
d.

Solution :It is an example of Kolbe's reaction.

So both the products are correct.
`(snCl_(2)+HCl)` selectively reduces `(-NO_(2))` GROUP ortho to `(Me-) (EDG)` group, but `(NH_(4)SH)` selectively reduces `(-NO_(2))` group para to `(Me-) (EDG)` group. So both the products are correct.
c. DUE to `(+I)` effect of three `(Me-)` groups, the benzene the ring is activated and is unstable. So the oxidation of benzene ring TAKES place, while due to the absence of benzylic H atom in t-butyl group, the oxidation of side chain does not take place. So the products `(II)` and `(III)` are correct, but product `(I)` is wrong. So the answer `(c )` is wrong.
d.In acidic medium `(Sn+HCl)`, the `(-NO_(2))` group is reduced to `(-NH_(2))` group. So product `(I)` is correct. In neutral medium `(Zn+NH_(4)CL` or `Al-Hg(H_(2)O), (NO_(2))` group is reduced to `(NHOH)` group. So product `(II)` is correct.
In basic with `Na_(3)AsO_(3)+overset(ɵ)(O)H, (-NO_(2))` group is converted to azoxy group, so product `(III)` is correct. Hemce, the answer are `(a), (b)`, and `(d)`.
