Please answer it quickly. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Correct option is (3) i.e, $C_{6} H_{5}CH_{2} OH$.

Explanation:

When Aniline (given compound) reacted with $NaNO_{2}$ and $HCl_{}$, Sodium diazonium salt i.e., $C_{6}H_{5}N_{2}Cl$ is obtained, which on treatment with $CuCN_{}$ yields Benzonitrile i.e., $C_{6}H_{5}CN$. When Benzonitrile reacts with $H_{2}$ and $Ni_{}$, it gives Benzylamine i.e., $C_{6}H_{5}CH_{2}NH_{2}$ which on reaction with $HNO_{2}$ or $HONO_{}$, yields Benzylalcohol i.e., $C_{6} H_{5}CH_{2} OH$.
