Question

write chemical equation for preparation of aniline by Hoffman bromamide reaction and also write chemical equation of reactions taking place between aniline and acetyl chloride and aniline with carbon sisulphide​

Answer 1

Answer:

i) When an amide is treated with bromine inv aqueous or ethanolic solution of sodium hydroxide, a primary amine with one carbon atom less than the original amide is released. This degradation reaction is called as Hoffmann bromamide reaction. This reaction involves the migration of an alkyl or aryl group from the carbonyl carbon atom of the amide to the nitrogen atom.

C6H5 −CO−NH 2+Br2+4NaOH→C 6H 5−NH 2+Na 2CO3+2NaBr+2H2O

ii) The IUPAC name is Ethyl methyl amine.

b) It is an excellent test for distinguishing primary, secondary and tertiary amines. In this test, the amine is shaken well with Hinsberg reagent in the presence of aqueous alkali (either KOH or NaOH). A reagent containing an aqueous sodium hydroxide solution and benzenesulfonyl chloride is added to a substrate.

Benzene sulphonyl chloride.C6 H 5NH 2is more basic due to resonance.
