Question

convert aniline to benzene

Answer 1

Aniline is C6H5NH2 which when reacts with NaNO2, HCl at 273-278K gives C6H5N2Cl which further reacts with H3Po2-H2O/Cu and heated gives benzene whose formula is C6H6.

Answer 2

Conversion of aniline to benzene:

• When aniline is reacted with $NaNO_2$ and HCl to form 'benzene diazonium choride'.

• Then it is further reacted with EtOH to give Benzene.

• Here EtOH is a ethanol, a simple alcohol with chemical formula C_2H_6O.

• The Conversion of aniline to benzene by Diazotization method.

• The diazotization reaction is defined as a 'primary aromatic' amine are reacted to give a 'diazo compound'. Also known as the 'diazo process'.

• The reaction are as follows
