Question

\[ C_{6}H_{5}N_{2}Cl \xrightarrow[\text{673 K, 300 atm}]{\text{Cu/HCl}} X \xrightarrow{(ii)\ H_{2}O} Y \] The incorrect statement about \(X\) and \(Y\) is:

• A. X undergoes Fittig reaction
• B. Y gives o-hydroxybenzaldehyde with \(CHCl_3\) and NaOH
• C. Y forms salt with \(NaHCO_3\) solution
• D. X is chemically inert at room temperature \bigskip

Hint:

Phenol reacts with NaOH but does not react with \(NaHCO_3\). Only acids stronger than carbonic acid liberate \(CO_2\) from bicarbonates.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C
