Identify the reagent R used in following reaction. Ketone R semi carbazone
Options
- ANH ₂ OH
- BNH ₂ NHCONH ₂
- CNH ₂ NHC ₆ H ₅
- DNH ₂- NH ₂
Correct answer
B. NH ₂ NHCONH ₂
Step-by-step solution
A semicarbazone is specifically produced by the reaction of a ketone with semicarbazide, NH ₂ NHCONH ₂ . Semicarbazide reacts with ketones to yield the semicarbazone derivative R ₂ C = NNHCONH ₂ . Hydroxylamine ( NH ₂ OH ) forms oximes, phenylhydrazine ( NH ₂ NHC ₆ H ₅ ) forms phenylhydrazones, and hydrazine ( NH ₂ NH ₂ ) yields hydrazones-none produce semicarbazones. The correct reagent is semicarbazide. Final answer: B
