Multi-step nitrobenzene conversion flowchart for Q35 - JEE Main 2025 Morning
The flowchart traces the conversion of nitrobenzene using Sn/HCl, Ac2O/pyridine, Br2/AcOH, and aqueous NaOH.

Solution & Explanation

### Core Logic Let's track the chemical transformations sequentially: 1. **Step 1 (Sn + HCl):** Nitrobenzene is cleanly reduced to yield Aniline (C_6H_5NH_2). 2. **Step 2 (Ac_2O + textPyridine):** Protecting step. Aniline undergoes acetylation to form Acetanilide (C_6H_5NHCOCH_3). This tempers the highly activating -NH_2 group to prevent poly-bromination. 3. **Step 3 (Br_2 + AcOH):** The -NHCOCH_3 amide group safely directs electrophilic bromination to the less-hindered **para** position, yielding p-bromoacetanilide. 4. **Step 4 (NaOH_(aq)):** Basic hydrolysis removes the protecting acetyl group, restoring the free amine function to yield the final product: **p-bromoaniline**. ### Pattern Recognition Acetylation of aniline followed by halogenation and subsequent hydrolysis is the standard synthetic pathway to produce mono-substituted para-haloanilines. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Chemistry: Amines

Q78 jee_main_2024_30_jan_morning Chemical Reactions of Amines
Following is a confirmatory test for aromatic primary amines. Identify reagent (A) and (B) Ph-NH_2 xrightarrowA Ph-N_2^+Cl^- xrightarrowB textScarlet red dye
  • A. A=HNO_3/H_2SO_4; B=beta-textnaphthol
  • B. A=NaNO_2+HCl, 0-5^circC; B=textphenol
  • C. A=NaNO_2+HCl, 0-5^circC; B=alpha-textnaphthol
  • D. A=NaNO_2+HCl, 0-5^circC; B=beta-textnaphthol, NaOH

Solution

### Core Logic The reaction sequence represents the classic dye test for aromatic primary amines. Step 1 (Diazotization): Aniline (Ph-NH_2) reacts with nitrous acid (generated in situ from NaNO_2 + HCl) at low temperature (0-5^circ C) to form benzene diazonium chloride (Ph-N_2^+Cl^-). Thus, Reagent A is NaNO_2 + HCl at 0-5^circ C. ### Step 2: Coupling Reaction Step 2: The diazonium salt undergoes an electrophilic substitution (coupling reaction) with an electron-rich aromatic ring to form an azo dye. The formation of a 'scarlet red dye' is specifically the result of coupling benzene diazonium chloride with beta-naphthol in a weakly basic medium (NaOH).

Solution

### Core Logic 1) Sulphanilic acid reacts with NaNO_2 and CH_3COOH to form a diazonium salt (X). 2) The diazonium salt (X) then reacts with N,N-dimethylaniline (given in the coupling step image). The coupling takes place at the para position of the highly activated N,N-dimethylaniline ring. 3) This coupling yields Methyl Orange, an azo dye. Its structure is p-dimethylaminoazobenzenesulphonic acid.

Q70 jee_main_2024_31_jan_evening Chemical Reactions of Amines
Given below are two statements: Statement I: Aniline reacts with con. H_2SO_4 followed by heating at 453-473 K gives p-aminobenzene sulphonic acid, which gives blood red colour in the 'Lassaigne's test'. Statement II: In Friedel-Crafts alkylation and acylation reactions, aniline forms salt with the AlCl_3 catalyst. Due to this, nitrogen of aniline acquires a positive charge and acts as deactivating group. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
  • A. text(1) Statement I is false but statement II is true
  • B. text(2) Both statement I and statement II are false
  • C. text(3) Statement I is true but statement II is false
  • D. text(4) Both statement I and statement II are true

Solution

### Core Logic Statement I: Aniline reacting with concentrated H_2SO_4 gives anilinium hydrogensulphate, which on heating at 453-473 K produces sulphanilic acid (p-aminobenzene sulphonic acid). Because sulphanilic acid contains both Nitrogen and Sulphur, it gives a blood-red colouration in Lassaigne's test due to the formation of thiocyanate ion SCN^- which reacts with Fe^3+ to form [Fe(SCN)]^2+. Thus, Statement I is true. Statement II: In Friedel-Crafts reactions, the Lewis acid catalyst AlCl_3 reacts with the lone pair on the nitrogen atom of aniline to form a salt. This generates a positive charge on the nitrogen, transforming the -NH_2 group from a strong activating group into a strong deactivating group, thus preventing the Friedel-Crafts reaction from occurring. Thus, Statement II is true.
