4. Arrange the following in increasing order of their basic strength:

i. ${{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}N{{H}_{2}},{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}N{{H}_{2}},N{{H}_{3}},{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}C{{H}_{2}}N{{H}_{2}}\And {{({{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}})}_{2}}NH$ 

Ans: Considering the inductive effect of alkyl groups $N{{H}_{3}}$, ${{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}N{{H}_{2}}$  and ${{({{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}})}_{2}}NH$  can be arranged in the increasing order of their basic strengths as:

\[N{{H}_{3}} < {{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}N{{H}_{2}} < {{({{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}})}_{2}}NH\] 

Again, ${{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}N{{H}_{2}}$has proton acceptability less than $N{{H}_{3}}$. Thus, we have:

\[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}N{{H}_{2}} < N{{H}_{3}} < {{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}N{{H}_{2}} < {{({{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}})}_{2}}NH\] 

Due to the −I effect of ${{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}-$  group, the electron density on the N-atom in ${{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}C{{H}_{2}}N{{H}_{2}}$ is lower than that on the N-atom in${{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}N{{H}_{2}}$, but more than that in $N{{H}_{3}}$. Therefore, the given compounds can be arranged in the order of their basic strengths as:

\[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}N{{H}_{2}} < N{{H}_{3}} < {{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}C{{H}_{2}}N{{H}_{2}} < {{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}N{{H}_{2}} < {{({{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}})}_{2}}NH\] 

ii. ${{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}N{{H}_{2}},{{({{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}})}_{2}}NH,{{({{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}})}_{3}}N,{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}N{{H}_{2}},$ 

Ans: Considering the inductive effect and the steric hindrance of the alkyl groups, ${{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}N{{H}_{2}}$  

${{({{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}})}_{2}}NH$, and their basic strengths as follows:

\[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}N{{H}_{2}} < {{({{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}})}_{3}}N < {{({{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}})}_{2}}NH\]

Again, due to the −R effect of ${{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}-$  group, the electron density on the N atom in ${{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}N{{H}_{2}}$  is lower than that on the N atom in ${{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}N{{H}_{2}}$ . Therefore, the basicity of ${{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}N{{H}_{2}}$ is lower than that of ${{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}N{{H}_{2}}$. Hence, the given compounds can be arranged in the increasing order of their basic strengths as follows:

\[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}N{{H}_{2}} < {{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}N{{H}_{2}} < {{({{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}})}_{3}}N < {{({{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}})}_{2}}NH\] 

iii. $C{{H}_{3}}N{{H}_{2}},{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{2}}NH,{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{3}}N,{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}N{{H}_{2}},{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}C{{H}_{2}}N{{H}_{2}}$ 

Ans: Considering the inductive effect and the steric hindrance of alkyl groups, $C{{H}_{3}}N{{H}_{2}}$ , ${{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{2}}NH$ , and ${{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{3}}N$  can be arranged in the increasing order of their basic strengths as:

\[{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{3}}N < {{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{2}}NH < C{{H}_{3}}N{{H}_{2}}\] 

In${{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}N{{H}_{2}}$ , N is directly attached to the benzene ring. Thus, the lone pair of electrons on the N−atom is delocalized over the benzene ring. In ${{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}C{{H}_{2}}N{{H}_{2}}$, N is not directly attached to the benzene ring. Thus, its lone pair is not delocalized over the benzene ring. Therefore, the electrons on the N atom are more easily available for protonation in ${{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}C{{H}_{2}}N{{H}_{2}}$ than in ${{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}N{{H}_{2}}$ i.e., ${{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}C{{H}_{2}}N{{H}_{2}}$ is more basic than ${{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}N{{H}_{2}}$. Again, due to the −I effect of ${{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}$  group, the electron density on the N−atom in ${{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}C{{H}_{2}}N{{H}_{2}}$ is lower than that on the N−atom in ${{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{3}}N$. Therefore, ${{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{3}}N$ is more basic than ${{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}C{{H}_{2}}N{{H}_{2}}$. Thus, the given compounds can be arranged in the increasing order of their basic strengths as follows.

\[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}N{{H}_{2}} < {{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}C{{H}_{2}}N{{H}_{2}} < {{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{3}}N<{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{2}}NH < C{{H}_{3}}N{{H}_{2}}\]

Ans: Aniline reacts with methyl iodide to produce N, N-dimethylaniline.

With excess methyl iodide, in the presence of $N{{a}_{2}}C{{O}_{3}}$ solution, N, N-dimethylaniline produces N, N, N−trimethylanilinium carbonate.

\[{{(C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}})}_{3}}N+HN{{O}_{2}}\to \underset{\text{Triethylammonium nitrate (soluble)}}{\mathop{[{{(C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{{{)}_{3}}}}NH]}^{+}}N{{O}_{2}}^{-}}}\,\] 

iii. Ethylamine and Aniline

iv. Aniline and Benzylamine

Ans: Aniline and benzylamine can be distinguished by nitrous acid test:

v. Aniline and N-Methylaniline.

Ans: Aniline and N-methylaniline can be distinguished by carbylamine test:

\[\underset{Aniline}{\mathop{{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}N{{H}_{2}}}}\,+CHC{{l}_{3}}+3KOH\xrightarrow{\Delta }\underset{\text{Offensive smell}}{\mathop{{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}NC}}\,+3KCl+3{{H}_{2}}O\] 

\[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}-NH-C{{H}_{3}}\xrightarrow{CHC{{l}_{3}}+3KOH}\text{No reaction}\] 

3. Account for the Following

a. ${{p}^{{{K}_{b}}}}$ of aniline is more than that of methylamine

Ans: In aniline, the lone pair of electrons on the N-atom is delocalized over the benzene ring. As a result, electron density on the nitrogen atom decreases. Whereas in $C{{H}_{3}}N{{H}_{2}}$ ,+ I-effect of $-C{{H}_{3}}$  group increases the electron density on the N-atom. Therefore, aniline is a weaker base than methylamine and hence its ${{p}^{{{K}_{b}}}}$ value is higher than that of methylamine.

b. Ethylamine is soluble in water whereas aniline is not.

Ans: Ethylamine dissolves in water due to intermolecular H-bonding. However, in case of aniline, due to the large hydrophobic part, i.e., hydrocarbon part, the extent of H-bonding is very less therefore aniline is insoluble in water.

c. Methylamine in water reacts with ferric chloride to precipitate hydrated ferric oxide.

Ans: Methylamine being more basic than water, accepts a proton from water liberating $O{{H}^{-}}$ ions.

These $O{{H}^{-}}$ ions combine with $F{{e}^{+3}}$  ions present in ${{H}_{2}}O$ to form brown precipitate of hydrated ferric oxide.

\[FeC{{l}_{3}}\to F{{e}^{+3}}+3C{{l}^{-}}\] 

\[2F{{e}^{+3}}+6OH\underset{\text{Brown ppt}}{\mathop{^{-}\to 2Fe{{(OH)}_{3}}orF{{e}_{2}}{{O}_{3}}.3{{H}_{2}}O}}\,\] 

d. Although amino group is o and p — directing in aromatic electrophilic substitution reactions, aniline on nitration gives a substantial amount of m-nitroaniline.

Ans: Nitration is usually carried out with a mixture of conc $HN{{O}_{3}}$ + conc ${{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}$ . In presence of these acids, most of aniline gets protonated to form anilinium ion. Therefore, in the presence of acids, the reaction mixture consists of aniline and anilinium ion. Now, $-N{{H}_{2}}$  group in aniline is activating and o, p-directing while the $N{{H}_{3}}^{+}$  group in anilinium ion is deactivating and m-directing: Nitration of aniline (due to steric hindrance at o-position) mainly gives p-nitroaniline, the nitration of anilinium ion gives m-nitroaniline. In actual practice, approx a 1:1 mixture of p-nitroaniline and m-nitroaniline is obtained. Thus, nitration of aniline gives a substantial amount of m-nitroaniline due to protonation of the amino group.

e. Aniline does not undergo Friedel-Crafts reaction.

Ans: Aniline being a Lewis base reacts with Lewis acid $AlC{{l}_{3}}$ to form a salt.

\[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}N{{H}_{2}}+AlC{{l}_{3}}\to {{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}N{{H}_{2}}^{+}AlC{{l}_{3}}^{-}\] 

As a result, N of aniline acquires positive charge and hence it acts as a strong deactivating group for electrophilic substitution reactions. Consequently, aniline does not undergo Friedel Crafts reaction.

f. Diazonium salts of aromatic amines are more stable than those of aliphatic amines.

Ans: The diazonium salts of aromatic amines are more stable than those of aliphatic amines due to dispersal of the positive charge on benzene ring as a result of resonance

g. Gabriel phthalimide synthesis is preferred for synthesizing primary amines.

Ans: Gabriel phthalimide reaction gives pure primary amines without any contamination of secondary and tertiary amines. Therefore, it is preferred for synthesizing primary amines.

4. Arrange the Following.

i. In Decreasing Order of ${{p}^{{{K}_{b}}}}$Values:

\[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}N{{H}_{2}},{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}NHC{{H}_{3}},{{({{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}})}_{2}}NH\And {{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}N{{H}_{2}}\] 

Ans: In ${{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}N{{H}_{2}}$ , only one $-{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}$ group is present while in ${{({{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}})}_{2}}NH$, two $-{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}$ groups are present. Thus, the +I effect is more in ${{({{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}})}_{2}}NH$ than in ${{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}N{{H}_{2}}$. Therefore, the electron density over the N-atom is more in ${{({{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}})}_{2}}NH$ than in ${{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}N{{H}_{2}}$. Hence, ${{({{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}})}_{2}}NH$  is more basic than ${{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}N{{H}_{2}}$. Also, both ${{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}NHC{{H}_{3}}$ and ${{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}N{{H}_{2}}$ are less basic than ${{({{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}})}_{2}}NH$ and ${{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}N{{H}_{2}}$ due to the delocalization of the lone pair in the former two. Further, among ${{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}NHC{{H}_{3}}$ and${{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}N{{H}_{2}}$ , the former will be more basic due to the +I effect of $-C{{H}_{3}}$  group. Hence, the order of increasing basicity of the given compounds is as follows:

\[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}N{{H}_{2}} < {{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}NHC{{H}_{3}} < {{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}N{{H}_{2}} < {{({{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}})}_{2}}NH\] 

We know that the higher the basic strength, the lower is the ${{p}^{{{K}_{b}}}}$ values

\[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}N{{H}_{2}} > {{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}NHC{{H}_{3}} > {{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}N{{H}_{2}} > {{({{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}})}_{2}}NH\] 

ii. In Increasing Order of Basic Strength 

\[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}N{{H}_{2}},{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}N{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{2}},{{({{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}})}_{2}}NH\And C{{H}_{3}}N{{H}_{2}}\] 

Ans: Among $C{{H}_{3}}N{{H}_{2}}$  and ${{({{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}})}_{2}}NH$, primarily due to the greater +I-effect of the two $-{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}$ groups over one $-C{{H}_{3}}$ group, ${{({{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}})}_{2}}NH$ is more basic than $C{{H}_{3}}N{{H}_{2}}$. In both ${{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}N{{H}_{2}}$ and ${{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}N{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{2}}$ lone pair of electrons present on N-atom is delocalized over the benzene ring but ${{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}N{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{2}}$is more basic due to +I effect of two $-C{{H}_{3}}$groups.

\[{{({{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}})}_{2}}NH > C{{H}_{3}}N{{H}_{2}} > {{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}N{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{2}} > {{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}N{{H}_{2}}\] 

Decreasing basic strength 

iii. In Increasing Order of Basic Strength 

(a) Aniline, P-Nitroaniline and P-Toluidine

Ans: The presence of electron donating  $-C{{H}_{3}}$group increases while the presence of electron withdrawing $N{{O}_{2}}$  group decreases the basic strength of amines. 

\[\therefore p-nitroaniline < \text{ }aniline\text{ } < \text{ }p-toluidine\] 

Increasing basic strength 

(b) \[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}N{{H}_{2}},{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}NHC{{H}_{3}},{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}C{{H}_{2}}N{{H}_{2}}\] 

Ans: In ${{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}N{{H}_{2}}$ and ${{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}NHC{{H}_{3}}$, Nitrogen is directly attached to the benzene ring. As a result, the lone pair of electrons on the N-atom is delocalized over the benzene ring. Therefore, both ${{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}N{{H}_{2}}$ and ${{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}NHC{{H}_{3}}$ are weaker base in comparison to ${{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}C{{H}_{2}}N{{H}_{2}}$. Among ${{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}N{{H}_{2}}$ and ${{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}NHC{{H}_{3}}$, due to +1 effect of $-C{{H}_{3}}$group ${{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}NHC{{H}_{3}}$ is more basic.

\[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}N{{H}_{2}} < {{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}NHC{{H}_{3}} < {{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}C{{H}_{2}}N{{H}_{2}}\]

Increasing basic strength 

iv. In Decreasing Order of Basic Strength in Gas Phase

\[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}N{{H}_{2}},{{({{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}})}_{2}}NH,{{({{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}})}_{3}}N\And N{{H}_{3}}\] 

Ans: In gas phase or in non-aqueous solvents such as chlorobenzene etc, the solvation effects 

i. e. the stabilization of the conjugate acid due to H-bonding is absent. Therefore, basic strength depends only upon the +I-effect of the alkyl groups. The +I-effect increases with increase in the number of alkyl groups. Thus, correct order of decreasing basic strength in gas phase is,

\[\therefore {{({{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}})}_{3}}N > {{({{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}})}_{2}}N > {{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}N{{H}_{2}} > N{{H}_{3}}\] 

Decreasing basic strength

v. In Increasing Order of Boiling Point

\[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}OH,(C{{H}_{3}})NH,{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}N{{H}_{2}}\] 

Ans: Since the electronegativity of Oxygen is higher than that of Nitrogen, therefore, alcohols form stronger H-bonds than amines. Also, the extent of H-bonding depends upon the number of H-atoms on the N-atom, thus the extent of H-bonding is greater in primary amine than secondary amine.

\[{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{2}}N{{H}_{2}} < {{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}N{{H}_{2}} < {{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}OH\] 

Increasing boiling point

vi. In Increasing Order of Solubility in Water

\[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}N{{H}_{2}},{{({{C}_{5}}{{H}_{5}})}_{2}}NH,{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}N{{H}_{2}}\] 

Ans: Solubility decreases with increase in molecular mass of amines due to increase in the size of the hydrophobic hydrocarbon part and with decrease in the number of H-atoms on the N-atom which undergo H-bonding.

\[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}N{{H}_{2}} < {{({{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}})}_{2}}NH < {{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}N{{H}_{2}}\] 

Increasing solubility

6. Describe a method for the identification of primary, secondary and tertiary amines. Also write chemical equations of the reactions involved.

Ans: The three types of amines can be distinguished by Heinsberg test. In this test, the amine is shaken with benzene sulphonyl chloride (${{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}S{{O}_{2}}Cl$ ) in the presence of excess of aqueous NaOH or KOH. A primary amine reacts to give a clear solution, which on acidification yields an insoluble compound.

\[RN{{H}_{2}}+{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}S{{O}_{2}}Cl\xrightarrow[-HCl]{O{{H}^{-}}}{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}S{{O}_{2}}NHR\xrightarrow{KOH}{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}S{{O}_{2}}{{N}^{-}}R{{K}^{+}}\underset{\text{Insoluble}}{\mathop{\xrightarrow{{{H}^{+}}}{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}S{{O}_{2}}NHR}}\,\] 

A secondary amine forms an insoluble compound, which remains insoluble even on acidification.

7. Write a short note on the following.

i. Carbylamine reaction

Ans: Both aliphatic and aromatic primary amines when warmed with chloroform and an alcoholic solution of KOH, produces isocyanides or carbylamines which have a very unpleasant odour. This reaction is called carbylamine reaction.

\[R-N{{H}_{2}}+CHC{{l}_{3}}+3KOH(alc)\to R-N\equiv C+3KCl+3{{H}_{2}}O\]

ii. Diazotization

Ans: The process of conversion of a primary aromatic amino compound into a diazonium salt, is known as diazotization. This process is carried out by adding an aqueous solution of sodium nitrite to a solution of primary aromatic amine (e.g., aniline) in excess of at a temperature below ${{5}^{0}}C$ . HCl

\[\underset{{{1}^{0}}\text{amine}}{\mathop{ArN{{H}_{2}}}}\,+NaO{{H}_{2}}+2HX\xrightarrow{273-278K}\underset{\text{Arene Diazonium salt}}{\mathop{Ar{{N}_{2}}^{+}{{X}^{-}}}}\,+NaX+2{{H}_{2}}O\] 

iii. Hofmann’s Bromamide Reaction 

Ans: When an amide is treated with bromine in alkali solution, it is converted to a primary amine that has one carbon atom less than the starting amide. This reaction is known as Hoffmann’s bromamide degradation reaction.

\[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}CON{{H}_{2}}\xrightarrow{B{{r}_{2}}+NaOH}{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}N{{H}_{2}}\] 

iv. Coupling Reaction 

Ans: In this reaction, arenediazonium salt reacts with aromatic amino compounds (in acidic medium) or a phenol (in alkaline medium) to form brightly coloured azo compounds. The reaction generally takes place at para position to the hydroxyl or amino group. If para position is blocked, it occurs at ortho position and if both ortho and para positions are occupied, then no coupling takes place. 

v. Ammonolysis 

Ans: It is a process of replacement of either halogen atom in alkyl halides (or aryl halides) or hydroxyl group in alcohols (or phenols) by amino group. The reagent used for ammonolysis is alcoholic ammonia. Generally, a mixture of primary, secondary and tertiary amine is formed.

\[ROH+N{{H}_{3}}\xrightarrow[\text{Hightemp}\text{., Pressure}]{A{{l}_{2}}{{O}_{3}},\Delta }RN{{H}_{2}}+{{H}_{2}}O\] 

\[\underset{{{1}^{0}}}{\mathop{R-N{{H}_{2}}}}\,\xrightarrow[-{{H}_{2}}O]{ROH}\underset{{{2}^{0}}}{\mathop{{{R}_{2}}NH}}\,\xrightarrow[-{{H}_{2}}O]{ROH}\underset{{{3}^{0}}}{\mathop{{{R}_{3}}N}}\,\xrightarrow[{}]{ROH}{{R}_{4}}{{N}^{+}}O{{H}^{-}}\]

vi. Acetylation 

Ans: The process of introducing an acetyl $(C{{H}_{3}}CO-)$  group into a molecule using acetyl chloride or acetic anhydride is called acetylation.

vii. Gabriel Phthalimide Synthesis

Ans: It is a method of preparation of pure aliphatic and aralkyl primary amines. Phthalimide on treatment with ethanolic KOH gives potassium phthalimide which on heating with a suitable alkyl or aralkyl halides gives N-substituted phthalimides, which on hydrolysis with dil HCl or with alkali give primary amines.

10. An aromatic compound ‘A’ on treatment with aqueous ammonia and heating forms compound ‘B’ which on heating with $B{{r}_{2}}$ and KOH forms a compound ‘C. of molecular formula ${{C}_{6}}{{H}_{7}}N$. Write the structures and IUPAC names of compounds A, B and C.

Ans: Since the compound C with molecular formula ${{C}_{6}}{{H}_{7}}N$  is formed from compound B on treatment with $B{{r}_{2}}$ and KOH, therefore, compound ‘B’ must be an amide and ‘C’ must be an amine. The only amine having the molecular formula ${{C}_{6}}{{H}_{7}}N$, i.e., ${{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}N{{H}_{2}}$  is aniline. Since ‘C is aniline, therefore, the amide from which it is formed must be benzamide (${{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}CON{{H}_{2}}$). Thus, compound ’B’ is benzamide. Since compound 'B' is formed from a compound with aqueous ammonia and heating, therefore, compound ‘A’ must be benzoic acid.

vii. ${{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}{{N}_{2}}Cl\xrightarrow[(ii)NaN{{O}_{2}}/Cu.\Delta ]{(i)HB{{F}_{4}}}$

12. Why cannot aromatic primary amines be prepared by Gabriel phthalimide synthesis?

Ans: The success of Gabriel phthalimide reaction depends upon the nucleophilic attack by the phthalimide anion on the organic halogen compound. Since aryl halides do not undergo nucleophilic substitution reactions easily, therefore, arylamines, i.e. aromatic, primary amines cannot be prepared by Gabriel phthalimide reaction.

13. Write the reactions of aromatic and aliphatic primary amines with nitrous acid.

Ans: Both aromatic and aliphatic primary amines react with $HN{{O}_{2}}$  at 273-278 K to form aromatic and aliphatic diazonium salts respectively. But aliphatic diazonium salts are unstable even at this low temperature and thus decompose readily to form a mixture of compounds. Aromatic and aliphatic primary amines react with $HN{{O}_{2}}$ as follows

\[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}N{{H}_{2}}+HONO+HCl\xrightarrow[-{{H}_{2}}O]{273-278K}[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}-{{N}^{+}}_{2}C{{l}^{-}}]\xrightarrow[273-278K]{\text{Decomposes}}C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}OH+C{{H}_{2}}=C{{H}_{2}}+C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}Cl+{{N}_{2}}\]

14. Give plausible explanation for each of the following:

i. Why are amines less acidic than alcohols of comparable molecular masses?

Ans: Loss of proton from an amine gives an amide ion while loss of a proton from alcohol gives an alkoxide ion.

\[R-N{{H}_{2}}\to R-N{{H}^{-}}+{{H}^{+}}\] 

\[R-O-H\to R-{{O}^{-}}+{{H}^{+}}\] 

Since O is more electronegative than N, it will attract positive species more strongly in comparison to N. Thus, RO is more stable than$RN{{H}^{-}}$ . Thus, alcohols are more acidic than amines. Conversely, amines are less acidic than alcohols.

ii. Why do primary amines have higher boiling point than tertiary amines?

Ans: Since O is more electronegative than N, it will attract positive species more strongly in comparison to N. Thus, RO is more stable than RNH-. Thus, alcohols are more acidic than amines. Conversely, amines are less acidic than alcohols.

iii.  Why aliphatic amines stronger bases than aromatic amines?

Ans: Aromatic amines are far less basic than ammonia and aliphatic amines because of following reasons: 

(a) Due to resonance in aniline and other aromatic amines, the lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom gets delocalized over the benzene ring and thus it is less easily available for protonation. Therefore, aromatic amines are weaker bases than ammonia and aliphatic amines. 

(b) Aromatic amines are more stable than corresponding protonated ion; Hence, they have very less tendency to combine with a proton to form corresponding protonated ion, and thus they are less basic.
