MCQ
A mixture containing the following four compounds is extracted with $1 \,M\, HCl$. The compound that goes to aqueous layer is
  • A
    $(I)$
  • $(II)$
  • C
    $(III)$
  • D
    $(IV)$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$(II)$
b
when the given mixture is shaken with $1\, M HCl$, amine get protonated and becomes cation $\left( {RNH_2^ \oplus } \right)$ , which does not dissolve in organic solvent but usually dissolve in $H_2O$ due to its charge. So, shaking with aqueous $HCl$ will pull amines into the aqueous phase and leave all other compounds in organic layer
