Amines Short Type Questions
| 1. Which is the role of HNO3 in the nitrating mixture used for nitration of benzene? |
| Ans: HNO3 acts as a base in the nitrating mixture (HNO3 + H2SO4) and provides the electrophile. |
| 2. Why is −NH2 group of aniline acetylated before carrying out nitration? |
| Ans: Direct nitration of aniline is not possible on account of oxidation of -NH2 group. However, nitration can be carried after protecting the -NH2 group by acetylation to give acetanilide which is then nitrated and finally hydrolysed to give o- and p-nitroanilines. As a result, the activating effect -NH2 group is reduced i.e., the lone pair of electrons on nitrogen is less available for donation to benzene ring by resonance. Therefore, activating effect of —NHCOCH3 group is less than that of —NH2 group. |

Ans:
What is Hinsberg reagent?
This is a Short Type Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar
Ans: Hinsberg's reagent is also known as benzenesulphonyl chloride (C6H5SO2Cl). When it reacts with primary and secondary amines, it produces sulphonamides. Allowing secondary and tertiary amines to react with Hinsberg's reagent allows them to be distinguished (benzenesulphonyl chloride C6H5SO2Cl). Secondary amines react with Hinsberg's reagent to form an alkali-insoluble product. N, N-diethylamine, for example, reacts with Hinsberg's reagent to form N, N-diethylbenzenesulphonamide, which is insoluble in alkalis. Tertiary amines, on the other hand, are unaffected by Hinsberg's reagent.
Why is benzene diazonium chloride not stored and is used immediately after its preparation?
This is a Short Type Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar
Ans: The reaction of aniline with nitrous acid at 273-278 K produces benzene diazonium chloride. The reaction of sodium nitrite with hydrochloric acid produces nitrous acid in the reaction mixture. Diazotisation is the process of converting primary aromatic amines into diazonium salts. Because of its instability, the diazonium salt is generally not stored or used immediately after preparation.
The crystalline solid benzene diazonium chloride is colorless.
It is easily soluble in water and stable at room temperature, but it reacts with water when warmed.
In the dry state, it decomposes easily.
Why does acetylation of −NH2 group of aniline reduce its activating effect?
This is a Short Type Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar
Ans: As −NH2 is a strong activating group, the aniline will readily undergo electrophilic substitution reaction, and it is difficult to cease reaction at the mono substitution stage.
Therefore, the activating group −NH2 is protected by an acetylation process.
The acetylated complex formed utilizes the lone pair of nitrogen and are less available for donation, this helps to carry out the nitration reaction easily.
Explain why is MeNH2 stronger base than MeOH?
This is a Short Type Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar
Ans: As the electronegativity of oxygen is more than the electronegativity of a nitrogen atom, the O−H bond is more polar than the N−H bond, therefore MeOH is stronger acid than MeNH2 or MeNH2 is stronger base than MeOH.
What is the role of pyridine in the acylation reaction of amines?
This is a Short Type Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar
Ans: Amides are the byproducts of the acylation reaction. The reaction is carried out in the presence of a stronger base than the amine, such as pyridine, which removes the formed HCl and shifts the equilibrium to the right.

Predict the product of reaction of aniline with bromine in non-polar solvent such as CS2.
This is a Short Type Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar

CH3CH2CH3,CH3CH2NH2,CH3CH2OH.
This is a Short Type Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar
Ans: CH3CH2CH3 < CH3CH2NH2 < CH3CH2OH
As oxygen is more electronegative than nitrogen therefore, the O-H bond is more polar than the N-H bond. So ethanol has more dipole moments than ethylamine. Propane is non- polar in nature hence, had the least among all.

This is a Short Type Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar
Ans:
This is an example of an electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction. phenol generates phenoxide ion in alkaline medium, which is more electron-rich than phenol and thus more reactive to electrophilic attack. In this reaction, the electrophile is an aryldiazonium cation.
The faster the reaction, the stronger the electrophile.
The cation p-nitrophenyldiazonium is a stronger electrophile than the cation p-toluene diazonium.
As a result, it preferentially couples with phenol.
