Correct answer: 5
-
We need to check which given reagents can reduce nitrobenzene to aniline .
-
Reduction of an aromatic nitro group to an amine is commonly done by:
- metal + acid reduction, such as , ,
- catalytic hydrogenation, such as or Raney Ni
-
Now evaluate each reagent:
I.
This is a standard reducing system for converting to .
So, works.II.
in ammonium hydroxide is not a standard reducing system for converting nitrobenzene to aniline. Reduction of nitrobenzene by tin generally requires acidic medium. Hence this reagent pair is not suitable.III.
This is Bechamp reduction; nitrobenzene is reduced to aniline.
So, works.IV.
Zinc in acidic medium also reduces nitro compounds to amines.
So, works.V.
Catalytic hydrogenation reduces nitrobenzene to aniline.
So, works.VI. Raney Nickel
Raney Ni also catalyzes hydrogenation of nitrobenzene to aniline.
So, works. -
