Answer»

Account
for the following:


(i)
pKb
of aniline is more than that
of methylamine.


(ii)
Ethylamine is soluble in water
whereas aniline is not.



(iii) Methylamine
in water reacts with ferric chloride to precipitate hydrated ferric
oxide.



(iv) Although
amino group is o,
p− directing
in aromatic electrophilic substitution reactions, aniline on
nitration gives a substantial amount of m-nitroaniline.


(v)
Aniline does not undergo
Friedel-Crafts reaction.



(vi) Diazonium
salts of aromatic amines are more stable than those of aliphatic
amines.


(vii)
Gabriel phthalimide synthesis is
preferred for synthesising primary amines.
