Correct answer: A
-
Identify the reaction being referred to
The options clearly describe nitrosation of an aromatic amine under acidic conditions at low temperature.
In such reactions, the active electrophile is the nitrosonium ion:
This is usually generated from nitrous acid in acid medium:
-
What happens with aromatic amines?
For strongly activated aromatic rings such as aniline or substituted anilines, nitrosation occurs on the ring, mainly at the para-position (if available), especially at low temperature.
Thus the product is typically a -nitroso compound.
-
Check each option
Option A: \mathrm{B}
This is incorrect.
In the given aromatic nitrosation, the main product is not an -nitroso ammonium compound; rather, it is a ring-nitrosated product, generally the -nitroso derivative.
So option A is false.
Option B: \mathrm{B}p
This is correct.
Aromatic amines under nitrosation conditions at low temperature often give para-nitroso substitution on the ring.
Option C: \mathrm{NO^+}$$
This is correct.
The nitrosonium ion is the attacking electrophile in nitrosation.
Option D:
The reaction occurs at low temperatureThis is correct.
Nitrosation reactions of this type are typically carried out at low temperature to control the reaction and stabilize intermediates/products.
