What is the final product formed when Toluene undergoes the following series of reactions?

- A 3-methylaniline
- B 3-methylacetanilde
- C 4-methylacetanilide
- D 3-Chloro-acetanilide
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) 4-methylacetanilide
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Toluene reacts with conc. \(HNO_{3}\) and \(H_{2}SO_{4}\) (nitrating mixture) to undergo electrophilic aromatic substitution. Since the methyl group is ortho/para directing, the major product [B] is p-nitrotoluene. Reduction of p-nitrotoluene with \(Fe/HCl\) converts the nitro…
