(a) Cyclohexanone (a cyclic ketone, C=O in a six-membered ring) reacting with NH2OH (hydroxylamine): this is a standard nucleophilic addition-elimination at the carbonyl, forming the corresponding oxime and water.
Product: cyclohexanone oxime (the ring C=O becomes C=N-OH) + H2O.
(b) C6H5-N2+Cl- (benzenediazonium chloride) reacting with H3PO2 (hypophosphorous acid) and H2O: H3PO2 is a mild reducing agent that replaces the diazonium group (-N2+) with a hydrogen atom, releasing nitrogen gas - this is reductive deamination, used to remove an -NH2 group from an aromatic ring (via its diazonium salt) without substituting anything else in its place. …
