Vedclass · Answer

(B) When nitro compounds (nitroalkanes or nitroarenes) are reduced in a neutral medium using $Zn$ and $NH_4Cl$,the reaction proceeds to form $N$-substituted hydroxylamines as the major product.For example,the reduction of nitrobenzene with $Zn / NH_4Cl$ yields $N$-phenylhydroxylamine $(C_6H_5NHOH)$.The general reaction is: $R-NO_2 + 4[H] \xrightarrow{Zn/NH_4Cl} R-NHOH + H_2O$.Thus,the correct product is $R-NHOH$.
