Consider the three aromatic molecules (P, Q and R) whose structures have been given below : [figure] The correct order regarding the reactivity of these compounds with Ph- N N Cl under optimum but slightly acidic medium is :

  1. P > Q > R
  2. R > P > Q
  3. R > Q > P
  4. P > R > Q

Answer

(1) P > Q > R

Solution

The diazonium ion is a weak electrophile; it couples (at the para position) only with strongly activated rings such as N,N-dimethylaniline.

Activation comes from the +R effect of -NMe2, which needs the lone-pair orbital of N parallel to the ring p orbitals, i.e. the -NMe2 group in the plane of the ring.

P: no ortho substituent ⇒ -NMe2 is coplanar, full +R ⇒ most reactive.

Q: one ortho –Me clashes with the N-methyl groups ⇒ -NMe2 twists partly out of the plane (steric inhibition of resonance) ⇒ less activated.

R: two ortho –Me groups ⇒ -NMe2 is pushed almost perpendicular to the ring ⇒ resonance is nearly lost ⇒ least reactive.

∴ Reactivity towards coupling: P > Q > R

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
