amine gives
(1) secondary amine
(1) (2) (2) nitro alkane
(3) alcohol
(4) alkyl nitrite

6. Which one of the following order is wrong, with

(3) (4) respect to the property indicated?
(1) Benzoic acid > phenol > cyclohexanol (acid
strength)
(2) Aniline > cyclohexylamine > benzamide (basic
2. Basic strength of different alkyl amines depends strength)
upon (3) Formic acid > acetic acid > propanoic acid (acid
strength)
(1) +I effect (2) steric effect
(4) Fluoroacetic acid > chloroacetic acid >
(3) solvation effect (4) All of these bromoacetic acid (acid strength)

3. Arrange the following compounds in increasing 7. Match the column I with column II and mark the
appropriate choice.

reaction with -naphthol while benzylamine
gives alcohol.

after diazotisatiion while aniline gives orange
dye.
(3) Aniline gives carbylamines reaction while
benzylamine does not.
(4) Benzylamine gives carbylamines reaction while
aniline does not.

Hint & Solutions

1. (3)
Only —CH3 group is electron donating group hence 6. (2)
it increases the electron density on nitrogen making Basic strength decreases as, cyclohexylamine >
it most basic. aniline > benzamide.
Lesser basicity in aniline andbenzamide is due to
2. (4) participation of lone pair of electrons of —NH2
group in resonance.
3. (3)
7. (3)
4. (1)
Secondary amines on reaction with Hinsberg’s 8. (3)
reagent gives N, N-dialkylbenzene sulphonamide
which does not contain any hydrogen atom attached 9. (1)
to N-atom, it is not acidic and hence, insoluble in
alkali. Tertiary amines do not react with Hinsberg’s 10. (1)
reagent. Primary amines gives product which are Primary amines react with benzoyl chloride to give
soluble in alkali. benzamides and the reaction is known as
benzoylation.
5. (3) CH3 NH 2  C6 H5COCl  CH3 NHCOC6 H5  HCl
R—NH 2  HNO2  ROH + N 2 + H 2 O Methanamine Banzoyl chloride N-Methylbenzamide

Primary amine Nitroous acid Alcohol
