JEE · NEET Previous Year Question

Which of the following reactions are used in the preparation of aliphatic primary amines?
I. Gabriel-phthalimide reaction
II. Hoffmann Bromamide reaction
III. Carbylamine reaction
IV. Sandmayer reaction

Topic: JEE PYQ

Answer: B. Full step-by-step solution below.

  1. AII & III only
  2. BI & II only
  3. CIII & IV only
  4. DI & IV only

Correct answer: B

Solution

(b) Gabriel-phthalimide and Hoffmann- bromamide reactions are used for the preparation of primary aliphatic amines.
Carbylamine reaction or isocyanide test is used to check the presence of a primary amine that gives a bad-smelling isocyanide.
Sandmeyer reaction is also a reaction of amines that converts an amine to halobenzene.
Thus, only I and II give a primary aliphatic amine.
