Question 42 Marks
Explain isocyanide test for primary amines.
Answer
When aliphatic and aromatic primary amine, is heated with chloroform and alcoholic (ethanolic) KOH, it forms foul smelling substance carbylamine or isocyanide. This is called isocyanide test.
Secondary and tertiary amines do not give this test.Therefore, this reaction is used in testing primary amines.

Question 62 Marks
Two isomeric compounds $(A$ and $B)$ have $C _4 H _{11} N$ molecular formula react with $HNO _2$ and forms compounds $(C)$ and $(D). C$ is hardly oxidised but it reacts immediately with Lucas reagent whereas $D$ reacts with Lucas reagent in $5$ minutes and it also gives haloform reaction. Identify $A, B, C$ and $D$.
Answer

Image
$A$ and $B$ are primary amines, which react $HNO_2$ and forms corresponding alcohols, $C$ is a tertiary alcohol which is hardly oxidised and it reacts immediately with Lucas reagent and $D$ is a secondary alcohols, hence it reacts with Lucas reagent in $5$ minutes and due toImagegroup it gives haloform reaction.

Question 92 Marks
How is $p-$nitroaniline is prepared by nitration of aniline? Explain with equations.
Answer
Due to the oxidising properties of conc. $HNO_3$ present in the nitration mixture, it oxidises aniline. Therefore, to control this reaction, the $-NH_2$ group is protected by acetylation of aniline before nitration.

Question 102 Marks
Ethyl amine is basic while acetamide is ampheteric. Explain the reason.
Answer
In ethylamine, the lone electron pair of Nitrogen of $-NH_2$ group is easily available to accept proton. Whereas in acetamide due to the presence of Imagegroup and its $-I$ effect the lone electron pair of $-NH_2$ group is involved in resonance hence, it is not readily available to accept proton. There by, ethyl amine is basic whereas acetamide is amphoteric in nature.
