Choose the correct answer from the options given below.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below.
Detailed Solution
A. $C_6H_5CN\xrightarrow{LiAlH_4}C_6H_5CH_2NH_2$ (benzylamine, not aniline). B. $C_6H_5CONH_2\xrightarrow{KOH,\ Br_2}C_6H_5NH_2$ (Hoffmann bromamide degradation gives aniline). C. $C_6H_5NO_2\xrightarrow{NaBH_4}$ no reaction. D. $C_6H_5NHCOCH_3\xrightarrow{HCl,\ H_2O,\ \Delta}C_6H_5NH_2$ (hydrolysis of acetanilide gives aniline). So B and D only.
