Which reagent reacts with aniline to give water insoluble product?
Options:(select one or more)
Answer:
Solution:
Question Explanation:
The question asks to identify which of the provided reagents, when reacted with aniline will produce a water-insoluble product.
Concept: This question is based on
1. Diazotization.
2. Balz-Schiemann Reaction.
3. Oxidation of Aniline.
4. Solubility of Organic Compounds.
Solution:
Aniline reacts with NaNO2 + HBF4 (diazotization followed by Balz-Schiemann) to form benzene diazonium fluoroborate (C6H5N2 + BF4- ), which is water-insoluble and stable at room temperature.
Aniline with NaNO2 + HCl (diazotization) yields benzene diazonium chloride (C6H5N2 + Cl- ), which is water-soluble and unstable above 0-5°C.
Strong oxidants like acidified K2Cr2O7 convert aniline to primarily water-insoluble p-benzoquinone. Trifluoroperacetic acid (CF3CO3H) oxidizes aniline to water-insoluble nitrobenzene (C6H5NO2 ). Therefore, reagents (A), (C), and (D) produce water-insoluble products.
Final Answer: Options (A), (C), and (D).
