(i) Nitrobenzene to benzoic acid.
(ii) Benzyl chloride to 2-pheylethanamine .
(iii) Aniline to benzyl alcohol.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Aniline is converted to benzene diazonium chloride, which in turn is converted to benzonitrile. Hydrolysis of benzonitrile gives benzoic acid, which on reduction gives benzyl alcohol.
