NEET CHEMISTRYMedium

In a reaction of aniline a coloured product C was obtained. The structure of C would be:

A

Option 1

B

Option 2

C

Option 3

D

Option 4

Step-by-Step Solution

The specific reaction scheme and the structures of the options are missing from the provided text. However, a characteristic reaction of aniline that yields a coloured product is the azo coupling reaction. Aniline first reacts with nitrous acid (NaNO2+HClNaNO_2 + HCl) at 0-5 °C to form benzene diazonium chloride. This diazonium salt then acts as an electrophile and couples with electron-rich aromatic rings (like phenol or another aniline molecule) to form highly coloured azo compounds (dyes) characterized by the N=N-N=N- linkage.
