Medium
Match the reactions in Group I with the products in Group II: P. Ammoxidation, Q. Nitration, R. Dehydrogenation, S. Oxidation — I. Aniline from benzene, II. Benzoic acid from toluene, III. Acrylonitrile from propylene, IV. Styrene from ethylbenzene
- P-III, Q-I, R-IV, S-II
- BP-IV, Q-I, R-III, S-II
- CP-I, Q-III, R-IV, S-II
- DP-I, Q-II, R-III, S-IV
Explanation
Ammoxidation of propylene (with NH3 and O2) gives acrylonitrile (P-III). Nitration of benzene is the classic first step toward aniline (Q-I). Dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene gives styrene (R-IV). Oxidation of toluene gives benzoic acid (S-II).
