JEE Main 2023 (10 Apr Shift 1)
Question
Isomeric amines with molecular formula give the following tests
Isomer Can be prepared by Gabriel phthalimide synthesis
Isomer Reacts with Hinsberg’s reagent to give solid insoluble in
Isomer Reacts with followed by -naphthol in to give red dye.
Isomers and respectively are
Choose an option
Show full solutionCorrect option: D

Step-by-step explanation
The isomers of , that can be prepared by Gabriel phthalimide synthesis are primary amines.
![]()
can be prepared by Gabriel phthalimide synthesis because is possible in
Secondary amines react with Hinsberg’s reagent to give solid insoluble in . Hence, Q is the secondary amine
Aromatic amines like aniline give diazonium salts. The diazonium salt used in diazo coupling to get red dye with beta Naphthol in sodium hydroxide. Hence, R is aromatic amine as shown below.
