An organic compound (P)(\mathrm{P}) on treatment with aqueous ammonia under hot condition forms compound (Q) which on heating with Br2\mathrm{Br}_{2} and KOH forms compound (R) having molecular formula C6H7 N\mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{7} \mathrm{~N}. Names of P, Q and R respectively are.

Options

  1. APhenylethanoic acid, phenylethanamide, benzamine
  2. BBenzoic acid, 4-methylbenzamide, 4-methylaniline
  3. CToluic acid, methylbenzamide, 2-methylaniline
  4. DBenzoic acid, benzamide, aniline

Correct answer

D. Benzoic acid, benzamide, aniline

Step-by-step solution

Q + Br2Br_2/KOH → R is Hofmann bromamide degradation: Amide → Amine (with one less carbon).
R = C6H7N=C6H5NH2C_6H_7N=C_6H_5NH_2 = Aniline
For Q to give aniline, Q = Benzamide (C6H5CONH2C_6H_5CONH_2)
C6H5CONH2→Br2/KOHC6H5NH2C_6H_5CONH_2 \xrightarrow{Br_2/KOH} C_6H_5NH_2
P + hot NH3NH_3 → Q: Carboxylic acid + NH3NH_3 → Amide
P = Benzoic acid (C6H5COOHC_6H_5COOH)
C6H5COOH→NH3,ΔC6H5CONH2C_6H_5COOH \xrightarrow{NH_3, \Delta} C_6H_5CONH_2
P = Benzoic acid, Q = Benzamide, R = Aniline
