Question 32 - 2019 (10 Apr Shift 2)
$\text{PhCH}_2\text{COCH}_3 \xrightarrow{\text{NaOCl}}$ X $\xrightarrow{\text{(i) SOCl}_2, \text{(ii) aniline}}$ Y
(1). (Phenylacetanilide (PhCH$_2$CONHPh))
(2). (N-phenylbenzamide)
(3). (Aminophenyl benzyl ketone)
(4). (Benzanilide with amino group)
Show Answer
Answer: (1)
Solution
NaOCl = haloform reaction on COCH$_3$ gives PhCH$_2$COO$^-$ (phenylacetate). SOCl$_2$ gives PhCH$_2$COCl. Aniline gives PhCH$_2$CONHPh (phenylacetanilide).
