Secondary amines on reaction with Hinsberg’s reagent give N, N-dialkylbenzene sulphonamide which does not contain any hydrogen atom attached to N-atom, it is not acidic and hence, insoluble in alkali. Tertiary amines do not react with Hinsberg’s reagent. Primary amines give products which are soluble in alkali.

 



Q 12 :    

Nitration of aniline in strong acidic medium also gives m-nitroaniline because            [2018]

  • inspite of substituents nitro group always goes to only m-position

     

  • in electrophilic substitution reactions amino group is meta directive

     

  • in absence of substituents nitro group always goes to m-position

     

  • in acidic (strong) medium aniline is present as anilinium ion.

[IMAGE 312]

The reason for formation of an unexpected amount of m-nitroaniline is that under strongly acidic condition of nitration, most of the aniline is converted into anilinium ion and since, –N+H3 is a m-directing group, therefore, a large amount of m-nitroaniline is also obtained.

 



Q 13 :    

The correct increasing order of basic strength for the following compounds is             [2017]

[IMAGE 313]

  • III < I < II

     

  • III < II < I

     

  • II < I < III

     

  • II < III < I

+I effect of substituted group increases the basic strength while I effect of substituent decreases the basic strength of aniline.



Q 14 :    

The correct statement regarding the basicity of arylamines is                  [2016]

  • arylamines are generally more basic than alkylamines because of aryl group

     

  • arylamines are generally more basic than alkylamines, because the nitrogen atom in arylamines is sp-hybridised

     

  • arylamines are generally less basic than alkylamines because the nitrogen lone-pair electrons are delocalised by interaction with the aromatic ring π-electron system

     

  • arylamines are generally more basic than alkylamines because the nitrogen lone-pair electrons are not delocalised by interaction with the aromatic ring π-electron system.

     

(3)

In arylamines, lone pair of electrons on nitrogen atom is delocalised over the benzene ring, thus, not available for donation. So, arylamines are less basic than alkylamines.
