What is the final product when C₆H₅NO₂ is reduced with Sn and HCl followed by neutralization?
Reduction of nitrobenzene ( C₆H₅NO₂ ) with Sn/HCl forms anilinium chloride, which upon neutralization with a base yields aniline ( C₆H₅NH₂ ). This follows from NCERT principle where relation explains outcome clearly for students.
