Identify the incorrect statements. Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  1. A and D Only
  2. A and C Only
  3. B and C Only
  4. A and B Only

Answer

(3) B and C Only

Solution

A. Correct – in benzylamine the lone pair on N is not in conjugation with the ring (an sp³ CH2 separates them), while in aniline it is delocalised into the ring. So benzylamine (pKb 4.70) is a stronger base than aniline (pKb 9.38).

B. Incorrect – as per NCERT, aromatic primary amines cannot be prepared by Gabriel phthalimide synthesis, because aryl halides do not undergo nucleophilic substitution with the phthalimide anion.

C. Incorrect – Hofmann bromamide degradation removes one carbon: C6H5CH2CONH2 + Br2 + 4NaOH C6H5CH2NH2 + Na2CO3 + 2NaBr + 2H2O. Benzylamine has NH2 on an sp³ carbon, so it is an aliphatic (aralkyl) amine, not an aromatic amine.

D. Correct – p-nitroaniline → (diazotisation) p-nitrobenzenediazonium chloride → (warming with water) p-nitrophenol, which is acidic and dissolves in NaOH as sodium p-nitrophenoxide.

∴ Incorrect statements: B and C

Answer: (3)

A student performed analysis of an aliphatic organic compound 'X' which on analysis gave C = 61.01%, H = 15.25%, N = 23.74%. This compound, on treatment with HNO2/H2O, produced another compound 'Y' which did not contain any nitrogen atom. However, the compound 'Y' upon controlled oxidation produced another compound 'Z' that responded to iodoform test. The structure of 'X' is :

  1. CH3-CH2CH(NH2)-CH3
  2. CH3CH2CH2NH2
  3. Ph-CH(CH3)-NH2
