In the reduction of aromatic nitrocompounds to AMINES, Fe scrap and HCl is preferred to Sn/HCl. Why?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Because .FeCl_2. formed gets hydrolysed to release hydrochloric-acid during the reaction. Thus only a small amount of .HCl. is required to initiate the reaction.
