(C)(see structure)
(D)(see structure)
✓ Correct

Answer: (D)

Solution

Catalytic hydrogenation of nitrobenzene with

H X_{2}

over palladium reduces the nitro group to an amino group, giving aniline as A. Aniline is then acetylated by acetic anhydride in pyridine, the nitrogen being acylated with loss of acetate to form the amide. Product B is N-phenylacetamide, acetanilide,

C X_{6} H X_{5} NHCOCH X_{3}
