What is the product formed when nitrobenzene undergoes electrolytic reduction in a mildly acidic environment?

1. Nitrobenzene
2. Aniline
3. Nitrobenzene in highly acidic conditions
4. No product is formed

Correct answer: Aniline

Solution

Electrolytic reduction of nitrobenzene in a weakly acidic medium produces aniline as the main product due to the reduction of the nitro group (-NO2) to an amino group (-NH2).
