JEE Main levelSingle correct optionDifficulty 2 of 3nc097

Nitrobenzene is treated with $LiAlH X_{4}$ in dry ether. The main product is

Aaniline
Bazobenzene
CN-phenylhydroxylamine
Dnitrosobenzene

Answer: B

With metal hydrides, aromatic nitro compounds give bimolecular reduction products.

LiAlH X_{4}

converts nitrobenzene to azobenzene,

C X_{6} H X_{5} N = NC X_{6} H X_{5}

, rather than aniline.
