Chemistry - AMINES Question with Solution | TestHub
An organic compound ' A ' on reaction with followed by heating gives compound B . Which on further strong heating gives compound . Compound C on sequential reaction with ethanolic KOH , alkyl chloride and hydrolysis with alkali gives a primary amine. The compound A is :
Options:
Answer:
Solution:
Question Explanation:
Identifying the starting material (A) that, through a series of reactions including treatment with NH3, heat, and Gabriel reagents, eventually yields a primary amine.
Concept:
This is based on Phthalimide formation and Gabriel Phthalimide synthesis.
Solution:
Compound (A) is Phthalic acid, which reacts with NH3 followed by heating to form phthalimide (C) via the intermediate ammonium phthalate (B). Phthalimide then undergoes sequential reaction with ethanolic KOH and an alkyl chloride to form a primary amine through the Gabriel synthesis pathway
