Question
Which of the following would not be a good choice for reducing nitrobenzene to aniline?
Options
LiAlH4
H2/Ni
Fe and HCl
Sn and HCl
Solution
LiAlH4
Explanation:
When nitrobenzene interacts with LiAlH4 in an ether medium, it does not change into amine; instead, azobenzene is produced. As a result, this reagent is not suitable for converting nitrobenzene to amine.
