Electrolytic reduction of nitrobenzene in weakly acidic medium gives

1. N-Phenylhydroxylamine
2. Nitrosobenzene
3. Aniline
4. p-Hydroxyaniline

Correct answer: N-Phenylhydroxylamine

Solution

In a weakly acidic medium, the electrolytic reduction of nitrobenzene primarily yields N-Phenylhydroxylamine as the intermediate product before further reduction to aniline in strongly acidic conditions.
