Given below are two statements : In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below
- Both Statement I and Statement II are true
- Statement I is false but Statement II is true
- Statement I is true but Statement II is false
- Both Statement I and Statement II are false
Answer
(1) Both Statement I and Statement II are true
Solution
Statement I:
1,2-Dipropylbenzene KMnO4/H+ benzene-1,2-dicarboxylic acid (phthalic acid), as each alkyl side chain is oxidised to –COOH.
Phthalic acid NH3, ammonium salt benzene-1,2-dicarboxamide (phthalamide), C6H4(CONH2)2
Phthalamide Br2/NaOH (Hoffmann bromamide degradation of both –CONH2 groups) benzene-1,2-diamine, C6H4(NH2)2
Statement I is true.
Statement II:
4-Methylaniline Br2/H2O 2,6-dibromo-4-methylaniline (–NH2 is strongly activating and directs Br to its ortho positions, para being occupied by CH3)
NaNO2/HCl, 0-5 °C 2,6-dibromo-4-methylbenzenediazonium chloride
H3PO2, H2O –N2+Cl- replaced by H 3,5-dibromotoluene (Br atoms meta to CH3)
Statement II is true.
Answer: (1)
