Which of the following statement is true?
Options
- ATrimethyl amines form a soluble compound with Hinsberg reagent and ( KOH ).
- BDimethylamines react with ( KOH ) and phenol to form an azo dye.
- CMethylamine reacts with nitrous acid and liberates ( N ₂ ) from aq. soln.
- DNone of these.
Correct answer
C. Methylamine reacts with nitrous acid and liberates ( N ₂ ) from aq. soln.
Step-by-step solution
Aliphatic (1^ ) amines react with cold nitrous acid to give alcohols with quantitative evolution of ( N ₂ ) gas. ( Methylamine CH ₃ NH ₂ + HONO 273-278 ~K CH ₃ OH + N ₂+ H ₂ O ) This reaction is used as a test for aliphatic primary amines.
