JEE Main 3 September 2020, Shift 2, Chemistry Q41

Question 41 of 75 in this shift, Chemistry question 16 of 25.

Three isomers A, B and C (mol. formula C8H11N\mathrm{C_8H_{11}N}) give the following results : A and C →Diazotization\xrightarrow{\text{Diazotization}} P + Q →(ii) oxidation (KMnO4+H+)(i) Hydrolysis\xrightarrow[\text{(ii) oxidation }(\mathrm{KMnO_4+H^+})]{\text{(i) Hydrolysis}} R (product of A) + S (product of C) R has lower boiling point than S B →C6H5SO2Cl\xrightarrow{\mathrm{C_6H_5SO_2Cl}} alkali-insoluble product A, B and C, respectively are :

The figure, in words

Reaction scheme (printed as text above): A and C undergo diazotization to give P + Q, then (i) hydrolysis (ii) oxidation (KMnO4 + H+) gives R (product of A) + S (product of C). Each option shows three benzene rings (drawn as a hexagon with a circle) with the substituents named in the option text; the positions given are as drawn on the page.
