Nitrogen Containing CompoundMedium
Question
Given below are two statements:
Statement-I : Heating benzamide with bromine in an ethanolic solution of sodium hydroxide will give benzylamine.
Statement-II : Nitration of aniline with ${HNO}_{3}/H_{2}{SO}_{4}$ at 288 K produces $m$-nitroaniline in higher amount than $o$-nitroaniline ( pH adjusted).
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :
Options
A.Both Statement-I and Statement-II are true.
B.Both Statement-I and Statement-II are false.
C.Statement-I is true but Statement-II is false.
D.Statement-I is false but Statement-II is true.
Solution
Sol. [Key Concept: Hofmann bromamide degradation of benzamide gives aniline (one carbon fewer), not benzylamine; nitration of aniline at $288$ K gives mostly $p$- with $m$- minor.]
Statement-I
Hence Statement-I is incorrect
Statement-II
Statement-II is correct
