An organic compound is heated with HNO_(2) at 0^(@)C and then the resulting solution is added to a solution of beta-naphthol whereby a brilliant red dye is produced. The observations indicate that the compound possesses.

Answer»

`-NO_(2)` group
`-CONH_(2)` group
Aromatic `NH_(2)` group
Aliphatic `NH_(2)` group.

Solution :
Hence choice (c ) is correct(a) is incorrect.
Aliphatic p-and `s-NO_(2)` groups react with `HNO_(2)` but not with `BETA`-napththol.
`-UNDERSET(O)underset(||)C-NH_(2)`group react with `HNO_(2)` and produces `N_(2)` gas and does not react with `beta`-naphthol. Hence choice(b) is incorrect An aliphatic amine reacts with `HNO_(2)` and produces alcohol. Here first an aliphatic diazonium SALT is formed which being unstable immediately reacts with `H_(2)O` to form alcohol. While aromatic amines when they form diazonium salts are highly STABLE and hence can be used to diazonium salts are highly stable and hence can be used to take part in dizonium caupling reactions. Hence choice (d) is incorrect.

An organic compound having the molecular formula C_5H_(10)O_3 on hydrolysis in the presence of Zn, gives acetone and acetaldehyde. Write the structure of the organic compound.

Answer»

Solution :The molecular formula of the compound is `C_(5)H_(10)O_(3) = C_(n)H_(2n) O_(3) (n=5)`, l.e., the compound is an addition compound of an ALKENE and `O_(3)`.
