Q. Which of the following compounds will form alcohol on treatment with $NaNO_{2},\ HCI/H_{2}O$ at $O℃$ ?
A) $\left( CH_{3} \right)_{2}CHNH_{2}$
B) $C_{6}H_{5}NH_{2}$
C) [image:13_image80.emf]
D) [image:13_image81.emf]
Explanation
(a)
Aliphatic primary amines on treatment with $NaNo_{2}/HCI$ gives alcohols with evolution of nitrogen gas.
$\left( CH_{3} \right)_{2}CHNH_{2} + HONO\underset{0℃}{\overset{{NaNO}_{2}/HCI}{\rightarrow}}\left( CH_{3} \right)_{2}CHOH + N_{2} + H_{2}O$
