An organic compound on treatment with aqueous ammonia under hot condition forms compound (Q) which on heating with and KOH forms compound (R) having molecular formula . Names of P, Q and R respectively are.
Options
- APhenylethanoic acid, phenylethanamide, benzamine
- BBenzoic acid, 4-methylbenzamide, 4-methylaniline
- CToluic acid, methylbenzamide, 2-methylaniline
- DBenzoic acid, benzamide, aniline
Correct answer
D. Benzoic acid, benzamide, aniline
Step-by-step solution
Q + /KOH → R is Hofmann bromamide degradation: Amide → Amine (with one less carbon).
R = = Aniline
For Q to give aniline, Q = Benzamide ()
P + hot → Q: Carboxylic acid + → Amide
P = Benzoic acid ()
P = Benzoic acid, Q = Benzamide, R = Aniline
R = = Aniline
For Q to give aniline, Q = Benzamide ()
P + hot → Q: Carboxylic acid + → Amide
P = Benzoic acid ()
P = Benzoic acid, Q = Benzamide, R = Aniline
