Nitrobenzene $\left(\mathrm{PhNO}_2\right) \stackrel{\mathrm{Zn}+\mathrm{NH}_4 \mathrm{Cl}}{\longrightarrow} P$ $P$ will be
  1. $\mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_5 \mathrm{NH}_2$
  2. $\mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_5 \mathrm{NHOH}$
  3. $\mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_5-\mathrm{N}=\mathrm{O}$
  4. $\mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_6$

Solution


In neutral medium, nitrobenzene reduces to phenyl hydroxylamine
