In the reaction given below 'X' stands for:
Correct answer: A. NH2
- A. NH2
- B. SnCl2
- C. Cl
- D. NH4+Cl−
Explanation
Nitro compmounds on catalytic of chemical reduction gives primary amines. Nitroarenes are reduced to primary amine arene. Typically reducing agents Fe/H+ or Sn/H+ are used.

About Alkyl Halides
Alkyl halides are named and related to their carbon-halogen structure, polarity and reactivity. The key reactions are nucleophilic substitution by SN1 and SN2 mechanisms and elimination by E1 and E2 mechanisms, including how substrate structure, nucleophile, base, solvent and temperature influence substitution versus elimination.
