Identify the reagents (X,Y,Z) used in the conversion of 3-methylaniline t 3-nitrotluene.

Options

A. `{:(,X ,Y,Z),((a),NaNO_(2)","HCl, HBF_(4), NaNO_(2)",Cu ," Delta):}`
B. `{:(,X ,Y,Z),((b), NaNO_(3)","HCl 273 K, HF , NANO_(3)",Cu, " Delta):}`
C. `{:(,X ,Y,Z),((b), NaNO_(2)","HCl ,C_(2)H_(6)OH , NANO_(3)", " Delta):}`
D. `{:(,X ,Y,Z),((b), NaNO_(2)","HCl , NaOH ,C_(2)H_(6)NO_(2)):}`

Answer

A

Explanation

When 3-methyl aniline is converted to 3-nitrotoluene, the following steps are involved.

Hence , (X) = ` NaNO_(2) , HCl, 273 K `
(Y) = ` HBF_(4) (Z) = NaNO_(2), Cu, Delta ` .
Hence , option (a) is the correct answer .
