JEE Main Chemistry Question (2026) — Solution

Question

Match the LIST-I with LIST-II List-I Amino acid List-II Positive reaction/Test for functional group present in side chain of amino acid A. Glutamine I. Hinsberg's test B. Lysine II. Neutral FeCl _3 test C. Tyrosine III. Ceric ammonium nitrate test D. Serine IV. Hoffman bromamide degradation Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Options

  1. A. A-IV, B-II, C-I, D-III
  2. B. A-IV, B-I, C-II, D-III
  3. C. A-III, B-II, C-I, D-IV
  4. D. A-IV, B-I, C-III, D-II

Answer

B. A-IV, B-I, C-II, D-III

Step-by-step solution

Glutamine contains an amide group in its side chain, which gives a positive Hoffmann bromamide degradation test. Thus, A matches IV. Lysine contains a primary amine group in its side chain, which gives a positive Hinsberg's test. Thus, B matches I. Tyrosine contains a phenolic hydroxyl group in its side chain, which gives a positive neutral FeCl _3 test. Thus, C matches II. Serine contains an alcoholic hydroxyl group in its side chain, which gives a positive ceric ammonium nitrate test. Thus, D matches III. The correct match is A-IV, B-I, C-II, D-III. Answer: A-IV, B-I, C-II, D-III
