Which reagent reacts with aniline to give water insoluble product?

Options:(select one or more)

Answer:
A, C, D
Solution:

Question Explanation:

The question asks to identify which of the provided reagents, when reacted with aniline will produce a water-insoluble product.

Concept: This question is based on

1. Diazotization. 

2. Balz-Schiemann Reaction.

3. Oxidation of Aniline.

4. Solubility of Organic Compounds.

Solution:  

Aniline reacts with NaNO2 + HBF4 (diazotization followed by Balz-Schiemann) to form benzene diazonium fluoroborate (C6H5N2 + BF4- ), which is water-insoluble and stable at room temperature.

Aniline with NaNO2 + HCl (diazotization) yields benzene diazonium chloride (C6H5N2 + Cl- ), which is water-soluble and unstable above 0-5°C.

Strong oxidants like acidified K2Cr2O7 convert aniline to primarily water-insoluble p-benzoquinone. Trifluoroperacetic acid (CF3CO3H) oxidizes aniline to water-insoluble nitrobenzene (C6H5NO2 ). Therefore, reagents (A), (C), and (D) produce water-insoluble products.

Final Answer:  Options (A), (C), and (D).
