C₆H₅CH₂OH as the major product.

C₆H₅CH₂NH₂ reacts with HNO₂ to form unstable diazonium salt, which in turn gives alcohol. Thus, when C₆H₅CH₂NH₂ reacts with HNO₂ benzyl alcohol is formed along with N₂ and H₂O. The chemical reaction involved in this case is

When C₆H₅CH₂NH₂ reacts with HNO₂ at low temperature, stable Diazonium salt is formed and no N₂ gas is evolved in this case.
