1 answer:
Aniline can be produced from nitro-benzene by reduction. When nitro-benzene reacts with tin (Sn) + hydrochloride acid (HCl) then aniline is produced. The Sn + HCl forms free hydrogen ions which converts the nitro group of the benzene ring to amine group, which is aniline. In place of Sn + HCl. One can use palladium (Pd) hydrogen mixture in presence of ethanol (EtOH). There produces a side product in this reaction which is cyclohexyl amine. The reaction can be shown as.
