When C₆H₅CH₂NH₂ reacts with HNO₂, the product will be C₆H₅CH₂OH.
When C₆H₅CH₂NH₂ reacts with HNO₂ the product that formed first will be C₆H₅CH₂N₂⁺, that is a diazonium salt, which is unstable so it transforms into alcohol. The reaction will be as follows:
C₆H₅CH₂NH₂ + HNO₂ ------->C₆H₅CH₂OH + N₂ +H₂O
N₂ and H₂O formed as a byproduct .
So the answer will be C₆H₅CH₂OH that is formed when C₆H₅CH₂NH₂ reacts with HNO₂.
