Q.

The incorrect statement regarding the reaction given below is:               [2023]

1 The reaction occurs at low temperature  
2 The product ‘B’ formed in the above reaction is p-nitroso compound at low temperature  
3 The electrophile involved in the reaction is NO+  
4 ‘B’ is N-nitroso ammonium compound.  

Ans.

(4)

Here electrophile NO+ formed on reaction of NaNO2 and HX attack on p-position at low temperatures as o-position experiences steric crowding.
