Solution
The correct option is C
C6H5CH2Cl+NH3→C6H2CH2NH2
Answer: (c)
Ammonolysis is a type of chemical reaction in which ammonia is used as a reactant.
When an alkyl or benzyl halide is allowed to react with an ethanolic solution of ammonia, it undergoes a nucleophilic substitution reaction in which the halogen atom is replaced by an amino (−NH2) group. This is called ammonolysis reaction.
Hence, option is the correct answer.
