Question: In the following sequence of reactions, what is D- $ A\xrightarrow{SOCl_2}B\xrightarrow{NaN_3}C\xrightarrow{heat}D $
Options:
A) Primary amine
B) An amide
C) Phenyl isocyanate
D) A higher hydrocarbon
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
[c] $ C_6H_5CH_3\xrightarrow{[O]}\underset{[A]}{\mathop{C_6H_5COOH}}\xrightarrow{SOCl_2} $
$ \underset{[B]}{\mathop{C_6H_5COCl}}\xrightarrow{NaN_3}\underset{[C]}{\mathop{C_6H_5CON_3}} $
$ \xrightarrow{heat}\underset{UnstableBemzoylnitrene}{\mathop{[ C_6H_5-\overset{O}{\mathop{\overset{||}{\mathop{C}}}}-\overset{..}{\mathop{N}}: ]}}\xrightarrow{{}}\underset{Phenylisocyanate,[D]}{\mathop{C_6H_5NCO}} $
