Correct Answer: (D) Fig. D
View Solution




Concept:

The reaction sequence involves diazonium salt chemistry, nucleophilic substitution, Williamson ether synthesis, Friedel–Crafts acylation, and finally Clemmensen reduction.

To determine the final product \(Z\), each transformation must be analyzed carefully.



Step 1: Formation of phenol (X).

The starting compound is benzenediazonium chloride.

On hydrolysis with water at about \(283\,K\),
\[ C_6H_5N_2^+Cl^- \xrightarrow{H_2O} C_6H_5OH +N_2 +HCl \]

Thus,
\[ X=Phenol \]



Step 2: Conversion of phenol into anisole (Y).

Phenol reacts with sodium hydroxide to form sodium phenoxide.
\[ C_6H_5OH + NaOH \rightarrow C_6H_5ONa + H_2O \]

Sodium phenoxide then reacts with ethyl chloride through Williamson ether synthesis.
\[ C_6H_5ONa + C_2H_5Cl \rightarrow C_6H_5OC_2H_5 + NaCl \]

Hence,
\[ Y=Ethoxybenzene (Phenetole) \]



Step 3: Friedel–Crafts acylation of phenetole.

Ethoxy group \((-OC_2H_5)\) is an activating group and directs incoming electrophiles predominantly to the ortho and para positions.

Treatment with acetyl chloride in presence of anhydrous \(AlCl_3\) generates the acylium ion.
\[ CH_3COCl \xrightarrow{AlCl_3} CH_3CO^+ \]

Electrophilic substitution occurs mainly at the para position due to steric considerations.

Therefore,
\[ Y \xrightarrow{CH_3COCl/AlCl_3} p-Ethoxyacetophenone \]



Step 4: Clemmensen reduction.

The carbonyl group of the acetyl substituent is reduced by
\[ Zn-Hg/HCl \]

According to Clemmensen reduction:
\[ -ArCOCH_3 \longrightarrow -ArCH_2CH_3 \]

Thus,
\[ p-Ethoxyacetophenone \xrightarrow{Zn-Hg/HCl} p-Ethoxyethylbenzene \]



Step 5: Identification of Z.

The final product contains:


an ethoxy group \((-OC_2H_5)\)
an ethyl group \((-CH_2CH_3)\)
both groups situated para to each other


Among the given figures, this corresponds to Fig. D.
\[ \boxed{Z=p-Ethoxyethylbenzene} \]

Hence, the correct answer is
\[ \boxed{(D) Fig. D} \] Quick Tip: Important sequence to remember: \[ ArN_2^+ \rightarrow ArOH \rightarrow ArOR \] Friedel–Crafts acylation: \[ ArH \xrightarrow{RCOCl/AlCl_3} ArCOR \] Clemmensen reduction: \[ ArCOR \xrightarrow{Zn(Hg)/HCl} ArCH_2R \] Aryl ethers are strong ortho-para directing groups, with para product generally predominating due to lower steric hindrance.


Question 158:

The ratio between the number of \(\sigma\)-electrons and number of \(\pi\)-electrons in the final product \(Z\) is:

  • (A) \(15:4\)
  • (B) \(13:5\)
  • (C) \(12:5\)
  • (D) \(11:4\)
Correct Answer: (A) \(15:4\)
View Solution




Concept:

The sequence involves reduction of glucose, oxidation, acetylation and finally oxidative cleavage of vicinal diols.

The final product must first be identified before counting the \(\sigma\)- and \(\pi\)-electrons.



Step 1: Formation of X

The starting compound is glucose.

Reduction with HI and heat converts all oxygen-containing groups into hydrogen atoms.
\[ Glucose \xrightarrow[\Delta]{HI} n-hexane \]

Thus,
\[ X=n-hexane \]



Step 2: Formation of Y

Catalytic oxidation with \(V_2O_5\) at \(773\,K\) converts n-hexane into benzene.
\[ C_6H_{14} \xrightarrow[V_2O_5]{773K} C_6H_6 \]

Therefore,
\[ Y=benzene \]



Step 3: Formation of Z

Benzene undergoes Friedel-Crafts acylation with acetyl chloride.
\[ C_6H_6 \xrightarrow{CH_3COCl/AlCl_3} C_6H_5COCH_3 \]

Acetophenone is formed.

Oxidation with alkaline \(KMnO_4\) followed by acidification converts the methyl ketone side chain into carboxylic acid.
\[ C_6H_5COCH_3 \xrightarrow{KMnO_4/OH^-} C_6H_5COOH \]

Thus,
\[ Z=Benzoic acid \]



Step 4: Counting \(\sigma\)-electrons

Benzoic acid:
\[ C_6H_5COOH \]

Total \(\sigma\)-bonds:


Benzene ring C-C : \(6\)
Ring C-H : \(5\)
Ring-C(=O) : \(1\)
C=O contains one \(\sigma\)-bond : \(1\)
C-O : \(1\)
O-H : \(1\)


Total:
\[ 6+5+1+1+1+1=15 \]

Hence,
\[ 15 \sigma-bonds \]

Each \(\sigma\)-bond contains two electrons.
\[ \sigma-electrons=15\times2=30 \]



Step 5: Counting \(\pi\)-electrons

Benzoic acid contains:


Benzene ring \(=3\pi\)-bonds
Carbonyl group \(=1\pi\)-bond


Total:
\[ 4\pi-bonds \]

Hence
\[ \pi-electrons=4\times2=8 \]



Step 6: Finding the ratio
\[ \frac{\sigma-electrons}{\pi-electrons} = \frac{30}{8} = \frac{15}{4} \]

Therefore,
\[ \boxed{15:4} \]

Hence the correct answer is
\[ \boxed{(A)\ 15:4} \] Quick Tip: For counting electrons: \[ \sigma-electrons=2\times(number of \sigma-bonds) \] \[ \pi-electrons=2\times(number of \pi-bonds) \] Always identify the final product first before counting.


Question 159:

Identify \(C\) in the given reaction sequence.

  • (A) \(HCOOC_2H_5\)
  • (B) \(C_6H_5CO_2CH_3\)
  • (C) \(C_6H_5CO_2CH_2C_6H_5\)
  • (D) \(C_6H_5CH_2OH\)

Question 160:

Choose the correct statement(s) with regard to \(N\)-ethyl benzene sulphonamide.


It is soluble in alkali.
It is formed by reaction between \(1^\circ\) amine and Hinsberg reagent.
It is formed by reaction between \(2^\circ\) amine and Hinsberg reagent.


Options :

  • (A) I only
  • (B) I & II only
  • (C) II & III only
  • (D) III only
Correct Answer: (D) III only
View Solution




Concept:

This question is based on the Hinsberg test used to distinguish primary, secondary and tertiary amines.

The reagent used is benzenesulphonyl chloride.



Step 1: Understanding \(N\)-ethyl benzenesulphonamide

The structure is:
\[ C_6H_5SO_2NHC_2H_5 \]

The nitrogen atom is attached to:


Ethyl group
Sulphonyl group


Such compounds are formed when a secondary amine reacts with Hinsberg reagent.



Step 2: Checking Statement I

Sulphonamides obtained from secondary amines do not possess acidic hydrogen capable of forming soluble salts with alkali.

Therefore they are:
\[ insoluble in alkali \]

Hence Statement I is false.



Step 3: Checking Statement II

Primary amines produce sulphonamides that contain acidic N-H hydrogen.

These dissolve in alkali.

Therefore \(N\)-ethyl benzenesulphonamide is not the product of a primary amine.

Statement II is false.



Step 4: Checking Statement III

Secondary amines react with benzenesulphonyl chloride to form neutral sulphonamides.

These are insoluble in alkali.

Thus \(N\)-ethyl benzenesulphonamide is formed from a secondary amine.

Hence Statement III is correct.



Step 5: Final conclusion

Only Statement III is correct.
\[ \boxed{III only} \]

Hence the correct answer is
\[ \boxed{(D)\ III only} \] Quick Tip: Hinsberg Test: \[ 1^\circ amine \rightarrow Sulphonamide soluble in alkali \] \[ 2^\circ amine \rightarrow Sulphonamide insoluble in alkali \] \[ 3^\circ amine \rightarrow No sulphonamide formation \] This is a favorite exam concept.
