Correct answer: B
-
Identify the likely reaction sequence
The reagent set contains:
- : used for diazotization of a primary aromatic amine
- : replaces diazonium group by iodine
- : reduces a nitro group to amine
- or warm water: hydrolysis of diazonium salt to phenol
So the sequence must involve:
- converting an into diazonium,
- replacing it with ,
- reducing another to ,
- diazotizing again,
- then hydrolyzing to .
-
Construct the logical order
Suppose the starting compound contains both an amino group and a nitro group on benzene.
- First, the existing is treated with to form diazonium salt.
- Then substitutes the diazonium group by .
- Next, the remaining group is reduced by to .
- Then this newly formed amine is diazotized again using .
- Finally, warming with water converts diazonium salt to phenol.
Thus the order is:
-
Match with options
-
A:
Wrong, because reduction should not come before replacing the first diazonium by iodine. -
B:
Correct. -
C:
Wrong, because diazotization cannot occur before reducing to . -
D:
Wrong, for the same reason as A.
-
-
Final answer
The correct sequential order is:
So, Option B is correct.
