Write the reactions of (i) aromatic and (ii) aliphatic primary amines with nitrous acid.
Answer
- Aromatic amines react with nitrous acid $($prepared in situ from $NaNO_2$ and a mineral acid such as $HCl)$ at $273 - 278$ K to form stable aromatic diazonium salts i.e., $NaCl$ and $H_2O.$
- Aliphatic primary amines react with nitrous acid $($prepared in situ from $NaNO_2$ and a mineral acid such as $HCl)$ to form unstable aliphatic diazonium salts, which further produce alcohol and $HCl$ with the evolution of $N_2$ gas.

Describe a method for the identification of primary, secondary and tertiary amines. Also write chemical equations of the reactions involved.
AnswerThe three types of amines can be distinguished by Hinsberg method. The sample is treated with benzene sulphonyl chloride, $C_6H_5SO_2Cl$ (Hinsberg’s reagent) followed by treatment with aqueous $KOH$ $(5\%)$ solution. Based upon the observations, the following conclusions may be drawn:
- If a clear solution is obtained, then it is a primary amine.
- If the solution is turbid or ppt appears and remains unaffected by the addition of an acid, the given amine is a secondary amine.
- If the sample remains insoluble in alkali and dissolves in an acid, then it is a tertiary amine.
$\text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{SO}_2\text{Cl}+\text{RNH}_2\rightarrow\text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{SO}_2\text{NHR}+\text{HCl}\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{Primary} \ \ \ \ \text{monoslkyl substituted}\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{amine} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{sulphonamide} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ $
$\text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{SO}_2\text{NHR}+\text{KOH}\rightarrow\text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{SO}_2\text{NKR}+\text{H}_2\text{O}\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{soluble}$
The secondary amine forms dialkyl sulphonamide which is insoluble in alkali
$\text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{SO}_2\text{Cl}+\text{R}_2\text{NH}\rightarrow\text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{SO}_2\text{NR}_2+\text{HCl}\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{secoundary} \ \ \text{dialkyl sulphonamide}\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{amine} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ (\text{insoluble in alkali})$
Tertiary amine do not react with Hinsberg’s reagent. They do not dissolve in alkali, but dissolve in acid.

A primary amine, $RNH_2$ can be reacted with $CH_3-X$ to get secondary amine, $R-NHCH_3$ but the only disadvantage is that $3^\circ$ amine and quaternary ammonium salts are also obtained as side products. Can you suggest a method where $RNH_2$ forms only $2^\circ$ amine?
Answer$\text{RNH}_2\xrightarrow{\text{KOH}/\text{CHCl}_3}\text{RNC}\xrightarrow{\text{H}_2/\text{Pd}}\text{RNHCH} _3$Carbylamine reaction is shown by $1^\circ$ amine only which results in the replacement of two hydrogen atoms attached to nitrogen atom of $NH_2$ group by one carbon atom. On catalytic reduction, the isocyanide will give a secondary amine with one methyl group.

Answer
- In $CH_3NH_2,$ the +I effect of $-CH_3$ group makes lone pair of electrons on $N-$atom more available for donation. On the other hand in $C_6H_5NH_2,$ the resonance effect causes delocalisation of lone pair of electrons over benzene ring and makes it less available for donation.
Hence, $CH_3NH_2$ is more basic than $C_6H_5NH_2.$
- $CH_3NH_2$ is more basic than $NH_3.\ CH_3$ group due to its $+ve$ I effect pushes electron towards nitrogen in $\text{CH}_3\stackrel{{..\ \ \ \ \ \ \ }}{\hbox{N}\text{H}_2}$ and this makes the unshared electron pair more available for sharing with the proton of the acid.
-

is stronger base than

as $CH_3$ group is electron releasing by $+I$ effect and hyperconjugation effect. View full question & answer→Question 402 Marks
Explain the observed $K_b$ order:
$Et_2NH > Et_3N > EtNH_2$ in aqueous solution.
AnswerDue to combination of +I effect, solvation effect and steric hindrance of ethyl group the basic strength of ethyl substituted amines in aqueous solution is as follows:
$Et_2NH > Et_3N > EtNH_2$
As a stronger base has a higher $K_b$ value, therefore, $K_b$ value decreases in the order:
$Et_2NH > Et_3N > EtNH_2$

How are vitamins classified? Name the vitamin responsible for the coagulation of blood.
AnswerVitamins are classified into two groups depending upon their solubility in water or fat.
- Fat soluble vitamins: Vitamins which are soluble in fat and oils but insoluble in water. These are Vitamins A, D, E, and K.
- Water soluble vitamins: Vitamins which are soluble in water. These are B group vitamin and vitamin C.
Vitamin K is responsible for the coagulation of blood.

Answer the following questions: Illustrate the following reactions:
- Hoffmann bromamide degradation reaction.
- Coupling reaction.
Answer
- Hoffmann bromamide reaction: When a primary acid amide is heated with an aqueous or ethanolic solution of NaOH or KOH and bromine (i.e., NaOBr or KOBr), it gives a primary amine with one carbon atom less.
$\text{R}-\text{CONH}_2+\text{Br}_2+4\text{NaOH}\xrightarrow{ \ \ \ \ }\text{R}-\text{NH}_2+\text{Na}_2\text{CO}_3+2\text{NaBr}+2\text{H}_2\text{O}\\ \ \ \text{Acid amid} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 1^*\text{a mine}$
- Reactions involving retention of diazo group:
Coupling reaction: The reaction of diazonium salts with phenols and aromatic amines to form azo compounds of the general formula, Ar-N = N-Ar is called coupling reaction. The mechanism is basically that of electrophilic substitution where the diazonium ion is electrophile. In this reaction, the nitrogen atoms of the diazo group are retained in the product. The coupling with phenols takes place in mildly alkaline medium while with amines, it occurs under faintly acidic conditions. For example,

Coupling generally occurs at the p-position, w.r.t., the hydroxyl or the amino group, if free, otherwise it takes place at the O-position. View full question & answer→Question 472 Marks
What are nucleic acids? Mention their two important functions.
AnswerNucleic acids are biomolecules found in the nuclei of all living cells, as one of the constituents of chromosomes. There are mainly two types of nucleic acids - deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA). Nucleic acids are also known as polynucleotides as they are longchain polymers of nucleotides.
Two main functions of nucleic acids are:
- DNA is responsible for the transmission of inherent characters from one generation to the next. This process of transmission is called heredity.
- Nucleic acids (both DNA and RNA) are responsible for protein synthesis in a cell. Even though the proteins are actually synthesised by the various RNA molecules in a cell, the message for the synthesis of a particular protein is present in DNA.
