Q 3 :    

Which of the following reactions will not give primary amine as the product?           [2023]

  • CH3NC(ii) H3O+(i) LiAlH4Product

     

  • CH3CONH2(ii) H3O+(i) LiAlH4Product

     

  • CH3CONH2Br2/KOHProduct

     

  • CH3CN(ii) H3O+(i) LiAlH4Product

     

(1)

CH3NC(ii) H3O+(i) LiAlH4CH3NHCH32° amine

CH3CN(ii) H3O+(i) LiAlH4CH3CH2NH21° amine

CH3CONH2Br2/KOHCH3NH21° amine

CH3CONH2(ii) H3O+(i) LiAlH4CH3CH2NH21° amine

 



Q 4 :    

Which of the following reactions is appropriate for converting acetamide to methanamine?           [2017]

  • Hoffmann hypobromamide reaction

     

  • Stephen’s reaction

     

  • Gabriel phthalimide synthesis

     

  • Carbylamine reaction

Q 5 :    

Method by which aniline cannot be prepared is           [2015]

  • degradation of benzamide with bromine in alkaline solution

     

  • reduction of nitrobenzene with H2/Pd in ethanol

     

  • potassium salt of phthalimide treated with chlorobenzene followed by hydrolysis with aqueous NaOH solution

     

  • hydrolysis of phenylisocyanide with acidic solution

     

(3)

Aniline cannot be prepared by this method because aryl halides do not undergo nucleophilic substitution reaction with potassium phthalimide under mild conditions.

 



Q 6 :    

The electrolytic reduction of nitrobenzene in strongly acidic medium produces           [2015]

  • azobenzene

     

  • aniline

     

  • p-aminophenol

     

  • azoxybenzene
