Q.

An organic compound [A] [C4H11N], shows optical activity and gives N2 gas on treatment with HNO2. The compound [A] reacts with PhSO2Cl producing a compound which is soluble in KOH. The structure of A is :                [2023]

1  
2  
3  
4  

Ans.

(4)

Given,

(i) Compound is optically active ⇒ contains chiral carbon/Nitrogen.

(ii) Compound liberates N2 gas with HNO2 ⇒ It is primary amine.

(iii) Compound reacts with PhSO2Cl and the product is soluble in KOH ⇒ It is primary amine.

Therefore, only  satisfy all the above conditions.
