S n Sn in H C l HCl will not reduce carboxylic acids, but it will reduce the nitro group ( N O 2 NO_2 ) to an amino group ( N H 2 NH_2 ). Next, the amino group will react with the carboxylic acid to form an amine while ejecting a water molecule ( H 2 O H_2O ), and form a second ring in the process. A n s w e r : C Answer: \boxed{C}
