Question
What happens when Nitrobenzene undergoes electrolytic reduction in a strongly acidic medium?
Advertisements
Solution
Electrolytic reduction of nitrobenzene in weakly acidic medium gives aniline but in strongly acidic medium, it gives p-amino phenol obviously through the acid catalysed rearrangement of the initially formed phenyl hydroxylamine.
