A) Chlorination, nitration, reduction
B) Nitration, chlorination, reduction
C) Nitration, reduction, chlorination
D) Nitration, reduction, acetylation, chlorination, hydrolysis
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
[b] [a] When chlorination is done earlier than nitration, chlorobenzene formed at first step would introduce \[-N{{O}_{2}}\] group in ortho-position, not in w-position. [b] Again if \[-N{{O}_{2}}\] group is reduced earlier than the chlorination step, \[-N{{H}_{2}}\] group formed on reduction will again introduce -Cl in o-position.You need to login to perform this action.
