Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 1

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The given reactant is p-nitrotoluene. Step (i): Reduction with Sn/HCl followed by \(OH^-\) converts the \(-NO_2\) group to an \(-NH_2\) group, yielding p-toluidine. Step (ii): Reaction with acetic anhydride, \((CH_3CO)_2O\), protects the amino group by forming…
