Question

Which one of the following reactions does NOT give benzene as the product?

• A. n-hexane \(\xrightarrow{MoO_3, 673K, 10-20 \text{atm}}\)
• B. H\textsubscript{2}C=CH\textsubscript{2} \(\xrightarrow{\text{hot Iron Tube at 873 K}}\)
• C. $C_6H_5N_3$ \(\xrightarrow{H_2O, \text{warm}}\)
• D. $C_6H_5OH$ \(\xrightarrow{\text{soda lime}}\)

Hint:

When dealing with reactions involving aromatic rings, look for reactions that either remove functional groups (like in soda lime reactions) or those that induce cyclization (like ethene cracking).
