Unit 13-Nitrogen Containing Organic Compounds
Unit 13-Nitrogen Containing Organic Compounds
Unit 13-Nitrogen Containing Organic Compounds
Two marks:
1. Name the product obtained when a nitrile is reduced by H2/Ni, . Give the equation.
H2 / Ni,
Ans. Primary amine: RCN
RCH2NH2.
2. How is nitrobenzene converted into aniline. Give the equation.
Ans. By reduction using Sn/ HCl
10. Give reason: aniline is a weaker base than ammonia but methanamine is a stronger
base than ammonia.
Ans. Aniline is weaker base because the pair of electron on nitrogen gets delocalized
towards benzene ring. Methanamine is stronger base, because CH3 group is electron
releasing group and makes pair of electrons on nitrogen more available for protonation.
11. Arrange 1, 2, 3methylamines in decreasing order of their base strength i) in gaseous
phase ii) in aqueous medium.
Ans. i) (CH3)3N > (CH3)2NH > CH3NH2
ii) (CH3)2NH > CH3NH2 > (CH3)3N
12. Name two factors that effect the basic strengths of 1, 2, 3 methyl amines in water.
Ans. i) Solvation (hydration)
ii) steric hindrance
13. What is the final product obtained when 1 amine is alkylated? Give its general formula.
ii) RNHR
Ans. i) C6H5N2Cl
ii) C6H5NH2
21. What is benzene sulphonyl chloride also known as? An amine with benzene sulphonyl
chloride forms a compound insoluble in an alkali. Identify the class of the amine.
Ans. Hinsbergs reagent. 2 amine.
22. How does Hinsbergs reagent help to distinguish 1 amine and a 2 amine? Explain.
Ans. The given amine is treated with Hinsbergs reagent. If the product formed is soluble in
an alkali, the amine is 1. If the product formed is insoluble in an alkali, the amine is 2.
23. Complete the following equations:
Ans.
General formula: Ar N 2 X
or
R N 2 X , where R = Ar
27. How is benzene diazonium chloride prepared from aniline? Give the equation.
Ans. It is prepared by the reaction of aniline with nitrous acid (NaNO2/ HCl) at 0C
0 C
C6H5NH2 + NaNO2 + 2HCl
C6 H5 N 2 Cl + NaCl + 2H2O
Cu 2Cl2 /HCl
E.g.: Ar N 2 X
ArCl + N2
CuCN/KCN
i) Ar N 2 X
__________ + N2
ii) Benzene
30. How is a diazonium salt converted into iodobenzene? Give the equation.
Ans. By treating diazonium salt with potassium iodide.
ArI + KCl + N2
Ar N 2 X + KI
iodobenzene
31. Give an example for a coupling reaction with an equation.
Ans. Benzene diazonium chloride reacts with phenol to form p-hydroxyazobenze. This is an
example for coupling reaction.
32. How is benzene diazonium chloride converted into an azo dye? Give an example for an
azo dye.
Ans. Azo dyes are the products obtained when reaction of benzene diazonium chloride with
phenol or aniline takes place with retention of diazo group. E.g.: benzene diazonium
chloride couples with aniline to form an azo dye p-amino azo benzene (yellow dye)
33. Mention the importance of diazonium salt in synthetic organic chemistry.
Ans. i) Aryl fluoride and iodides that cannot be prepared by direct halogenation can be
synthesized.
ii) It helps to introduce many functional groups into aromatic ring, which cannot be
done by direct methods.
