Identify compounds A and E in the following reaction sequence. [figure]

  1. A = [figure] E = [figure]
  2. A = [figure] E = [figure]
  3. A = [figure] E = [figure]
  4. A = [figure] E = [figure]

Answer

(2) A = [figure] E = [figure]

Solution

Step 1 (bromination): –C2H5 is o/p-directing and –NO2 is m-directing; both direct Br to the position ortho to –C2H5 (meta to –NO2).

⇒ A = 2-bromo-1-ethyl-4-nitrobenzene [figure]

Step 2: Sn/HCl reduces –NO2 to –NH2 ⇒ B = 3-bromo-4-ethylaniline

Step 3: NaNO2/HCl at 273–278 K ⇒ C = diazonium salt (– N2 Cl )

Step 4: C2H5OH reduces – N2 to –H ⇒ D = 1-bromo-2-ethylbenzene

Step 5: alkaline KMnO4 oxidises the whole side chain to –COOH ⇒ E = 2-bromobenzoic acid [figure]

Answer: (2)

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

A student has been given a compound 'x' of molecular formula C6H7N. 'x' is sparingly soluble in water. However, on addition of dilute mineral acid, 'x' becomes soluble in water. 'x' when treated with CHCl3 and KOH(alc), 'y' is produced. 'y' has a specific unpleasant smell. On treatment with benzenesulphonyl chloride, 'x' gives a compound 'z' which is soluble in alkali. The number of different "H" atoms present in 'z' is :
