Krishna Iyer answered |
The correct answer is Option B.
When primary amine reacts with CHCl3 in alcoholic KOH, the product is isocyanide which is foul smelling.
R−NH2+CHCl3+3KOH -ΔR−NC+3KCl+3H2O
This reaction is known as carbylamine test / Isocyande test. This test is not given by secondary or tertiary amines.

Nandini Patel answered |
The double bonds in alkenes and double bonds in carbonyl groups are VERY different in terms of reactivity. The C=C is less reactive due to C=O electronegativity attributed to the oxygen and its two lone pairs of electrons. One pair of the oxygen lone pairs are located in 2s while the other pair are in 2p orbital where its axis is directed perpendicular to the direction of the pi orbitals. The Carbonyl groups properties are directly tied to its electronic structure as well as geometric positioning. For example, the electronegativity of oxygen also polarizes the pi bond allowing the single bonded substituent connected to become electron withdrawing.

Abhijeet Menon answered |
Functional isomers:
Functional isomers are compounds that have the same molecular formula but differ in their functional groups. In other words, functional isomers have different chemical properties because they have different functional groups.
Propanone (CH3COCH3) and prop-2-en-1-ol (CH3CH=CHCH2OH) are examples of functional isomers because they have different functional groups. Propanone has a ketone functional group whereas prop-2-en-1-ol has an alcohol functional group.
Ketones and alcohols have different chemical properties and reactivities because of the differences in their functional groups. Therefore, propanone and prop-2-en-1-ol are functional isomers.

Vishal Giri answered |
Yes I think Option C is correct. Because so............ if it form more than one bond with same another atom ( here O & C) except one all another will pi bonds. here two bonds that means definitely one is sigma and another is pi bond.There is difference between electronegetivity of C and O ( O is more electronegetive than C) hence C=O is polar while there is same electronegetivity of both C in C=C hence it is nonpolar .

The correct answer is Option D.
Wurtz reaction is used to produce alkanes from alkyl halides.
2RX+2Na (in ether)→R−R+2NaX
Example :
2CH3Cl+2Na (in ether)→C2H6+2NaCl
So, the Wurtz reaction has nothing to do with amines.

The correct answer is Option D.
Cl− is the best leaving group being the weakest nucleophile out of NH2− , Cl− , OC2H5 and CH3COO−.
So, when Z is Cl− , the ion leaves faster thus making the reaction the fastest when Z is Cl− .

First of all, we should number the carbon atoms from right to left for the above molecule. According to IUPAC rule, we have to name the functional groups alphabetically. Hence, bromine which is attached to 3rd carbon is named as 3-bromo, chlorine which is attached to 7th carbon is named as 7-chloro and ethyl group which is also attached to 7th carbon is named as 7-ethyl. 5-(1,1-dimethyethyl) indicates that, 2 methyl groups are attached to the 1st carbon of ethyl group which is attached to the 5th carbon of the given molecule. 5-(2-methylpropyl) indicates that, a methyl group is attached to the 2nd carbon of propyl group which is attached to the 5th carbon of the given molecule. Finally, since the molecule has nine atoms and it is an alkane, the word nonane is added to the IUPAC name.

Ozonolysis of C followed by work-up with Zn-H2O gives D (C5H10O) as one of the product which gives racemic mixture on reduction with NaBH4.Q. If B is reduced with LiAIH4 followed by acid hydrolysis will give- a)a pure enantiomer
- b)a racemic mixture
- c)a pair of diastereomers
- d)an achiral alcohol
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Kashish Garg answered |
Since, A is completely saturated, it must contain more than one chiral carbon atoms in order to show both enantiomerism and diastereomerism. Also, C on ozonolysis gives D (C5H10O) as one product, other product must be CH3SHO. Hence, C must be 
B is enantiomeric. If a pure enantiomer of B is reduced with LiAIH4, pair of diastereomers would be formed.

Acidic strength of carboxylic acid -
– More acidic than phenols or alcohols.
– Acidity increase with the presence of a group with -I effect in the alkyl group.Whereas it decreases with the presence of +I group.
– Acidity increases with increase in the number of halogen atoms on 
- position.
- position.– It decreases with increasing distance of halogen from 
– It increases with increase in the electronegativity of halogen.

Ortho derivative of Benzoic acid is most acidic regardless of the nature of the group at that position. Para derivative is on the 2nd position due to electron withdrawing effect due to -R and -I effect. Meta derivative comes 3rd due to -I effect only (as meta position is not involved in resonance). At last comes Benzoic acid which is least acidic due to absence of any electron withdrawing group.

aqueous NaCl is a neutral compound. Thus no reaction takes place between ethyl acetate and aqueous NaCl.

Asymmetric carbon atoms are those carbon atoms which are attached to four different groups or atoms. These carbon atoms are also known as chiral centers.
(i) 2-Dimethyl cyclohexane:
- Cyclohexane has no asymmetric carbon atoms.
- When two methyl groups are attached to cyclohexane, it becomes 2,3-dimethyl cyclohexane.
- The carbon at position 2 is attached to two methyl groups and two hydrogen atoms. Therefore, it is not an asymmetric carbon atom.
- The carbon at position 3 is attached to one methyl group, one hydrogen atom, one methyl group, and one cyclohexane ring. Therefore, it is an asymmetric carbon atom.
- Hence, there is one asymmetric carbon atom in 2-dimethyl cyclohexane.
(ii) 3-Methyl cyclopentene:
- Cyclopentene has one asymmetric carbon atom.
- When a methyl group is attached to cyclopentene at position 3, it becomes 3-methyl cyclopentene.
- The carbon at position 3 is attached to one methyl group, one hydrogen atom, one double bond with carbon, and one cyclopentene ring. Therefore, it is an asymmetric carbon atom.
- Hence, there is one asymmetric carbon atom in 3-methyl cyclopentene.
(iii) 3-Methylcyclohexene:
- Cyclohexene has one asymmetric carbon atom.
- When a methyl group is attached to cyclohexene at position 3, it becomes 3-methylcyclohexene.
- The carbon at position 3 is attached to one methyl group, one hydrogen atom, one double bond with carbon, and one cyclohexene ring. Therefore, it is an asymmetric carbon atom.
- Hence, there is one asymmetric carbon atom in 3-methylcyclohexene.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'A' (2,1,1) as there are 2 asymmetric carbon atoms in total, with 1 in 2-dimethyl cyclohexane, 1 in 3-methyl cyclopentene, and 1 in 3-methylcyclohexene.
