Solution:

  1. PLAN This problem can be solved by using the various concepts synthesis of benzene, electrophilic substitution reaction and directive influence of various substituents, including oxidation and reduction.

$\Rightarrow-OH$ and $-NH _2$ are $o / p$-directing groups.

$\Rightarrow N$-acetylation is more favourable than $C$-acylation.

$\Rightarrow N$-sulphonation is more favourable than $C$-sulphonation.

$\Rightarrow NO _2$ is a meta-directing group.

$\Rightarrow H _2 S \cdot NH _3$ reduces only one $NO _2$ group selectively in the presence of two $NO _2$ groups.

Using above concepts the correct sequence of reaction can be written as

A.

$\xrightarrow[H _2 SO _4]{NaNO _2}$ $O _2$ Here, $N$-sulphonation is more favourable in comparisons to

B.

C. D.

Above reaction proceeds through oxidation, chlorination and amide formation sequentially.

$\therefore A \rightarrow r, B \rightarrow s, C \rightarrow q, D \rightarrow p$ Hence, the correct choice is (c).
