Aliphatic Compounds Containing Nitrogen - Result Question 8
8. A compound ’ $X$ ’ on treatment with $Br _2 / NaOH$, provided $C _3 H _9 N$, which gives positive carbylamine test. Compound ’ $X$ ’ is
(2019 Main, 11 Jan II)
(a) $CH _3 COCH _2 NHCH _3$
(b) $CH _3 CH _2 CH _2 CONH _2$
(c) $CH _3 CON\left(CH _3\right) _2$
(d) $CH _3 CH _2 COCH _2 NH _2$
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: 8. (b)
Solution:
The molecular formula, $C _3 H _9 N$ refers to four structural isomers of amines
Here, only $a$ and $b$ (primary amines) can be prepared from their respective amides by Hoffmann bromamide $\left(Br _2 / NaOH\right)$ method and can give positive carbylamine test.
So, ’ $X$ ’ can be $CH _3 CH _2 CH _2-CONH _2$ (a) or
$CH _3 CH\left(CONH _2\right) CH _3$ (b).
Carbylamine test given by (a) and (b)
$\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{NH}_2+\mathrm{CHCl}_3+3 \mathrm{KOH} \xrightarrow{\Delta} $ $\mathrm{CH}_3\left(\mathrm{CH}_2\right)_2 \mathrm{NC}+3 \mathrm{KCl}+3 \mathrm{H}_2$
As (b) is not among the given options So, it is ruled out and compound ( $X$ ) is $CH _3 CH _2 CH _2 CONH _2$.
