Question
An aromatic compound 'A' on treatment with aqueous ammonia and heating forms compound 'B' which on heating with $Br _2$ and KOH forms a compound ' C ' of molecular formula $C _6 H _7 N$. Write the structures and IUPAC names of compound $A , B$ and C .

Answer

Step - 1: To find out the structure of compounds ' B ' and ' C '.
1. Since compound ' C ' with molecular formula $C _6 H _7 N$ is formed from compound ' B ' on treatment with $Br _2+ KOH$ (i.e., Hoffmatm bromamide reaction). Therefore, compound ' B ' must be an amide and ' C ' must be an amine. The only amine having the molecular formula $C _6 H _7 N$ is $C _6 H _5 NH _2$ (i.e., aniline or benzenamine).
2. Since ' C ' is aniline, therefore, the amide from which it is formed must be benzamide $\left( C _6 H _5 CONH _2\right)$. Thus, compound ' B ' is benzamide. The chemical equation showing the conversion of ' B ' to ' C ' is
