Compound A from the following reaction sequence is :

Compound A from the following reaction sequence is :

  1. Benzoic Acid
  2. Aniline
  3. Salicylic Acid
  4. Phenol

Solution

When aniline treated with bromine, the reaction results in the formation of 2,4,6-tribromo phenylamine. This reaction is an example of bromination. The process of conversion of a primary aromatic amino compound into a diazonium salt is known as diazotization. This process is carried out by adding an aqueous solution of sodium nitrite to a solution of primary aromatic amine (e.g., aniline) in excess of HCl at a temperature below 5°C. Benzene diazonium chloride reacts with H3PO2 in aqueous medium to form benzene.
