Nitrobenzene on electrolytic reduction in strongly acidic medium followed by rearrangement gives

Preparation of Amines
NEET
1

Hydrazobenzene

2

p-aminophenol

3

Azobenzene

4

Azoxybenzene

Solution:

Electrolytic reduction of nitrobenzene in strongly acidic medium yields phenylhydroxylamine. This intermediate then undergoes an acid-catalyzed rearrangement, known as the Bamberger rearrangement, to produce p-aminophenol.
