Type: MCQ-conceptual-Hard
Mark the correct route of the conversion of p-chloroaniline to p-chlorobenzylamine.
A
i-Alkylation ii-KCN iii-H₂/Pt
B
i-Diazotisation ii-CuCN iii-H₂/Pt
C
i-Oxidation ii-H₂/Pt iii-Hydrolysis
D
i-Diazotisation ii-H₂O/H⁺ iii-Sn/HCl
Correct Answer
Option B
Detailed Explanation
The conversion involves diazotisation of p-chloroaniline to form a diazonium salt, followed by replacement with CuCN to form a nitrile, and finally reduction with H₂/Pt to form p-chlorobenzylamine.
