Q24 / 71 · NTA Abhyas (JEE Main) 2020 · Chemistry · Amines

Which of the following on reactions with nitrous acid, followed by treatment with NaOH produces a blue coluration?

  • A
    RCH2NO2
  • B
    R3CNO2
  • Correct answer
    C
    R2CHNO2
  • D
    PhNO2

Solution

R-C|H2NO2+O=N-OH→R-C|=NNO2         -OH+H2ONitrolic acidDissolve in NaOH to giveblood red colouration                  

R-C||R-RNO2      +HNO2→ No reaction

R− C | | R −H NO 2        +HO−N=O→ R− C | | R −N NO 2       =O+ H 2 O Pseudo  nitrole Does not dissolve in NaOH, but gives blue colouration        

PhNO2+HNO2→ No reaction

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
