Aniline gets coloured on standing in air for a long time. Why ?

1 Answer

Answer :

Due to strong electron-donating effect (+ R effect) of NH2 gp, the electron density on the benzene ring increases. As a result, aniline is easily oxidised on standing in air for a long time to form coloured products.
