Q145 / 200 · MHT CET - Medical 2026 (26 April Shift 1) · Chemistry
What type of compound the aniline is?
- A$2^0$ and aliphatic
- B$1^0$ and aliphatic
- C$2^0$ and aromatic
- Correct answerD$1^0$ and aromatic
Solution
Aniline has the chemical formula $C_6H_5NH_2$.
The nitrogen atom of the amino group ($-NH_2$) is directly attached to only one carbon atom of the benzene ring, making it a primary ($1^0$) amine.
Since the amino group is attached to an aromatic benzene ring, it is an aromatic compound.
Therefore, aniline is a $1^0$ and aromatic compound.
Answer: $1^0$ and aromatic
