Identify the reactions which give aniline as the major product.
A. Benzonitrile \(\xrightarrow{LiAlH_4}\)
B. Benzamide \(\xrightarrow{KOH, Br_2}\)
C. Nitrobenzene \(\xrightarrow{NaBH_4}\)
D. N-Phenylacetamide \(\xrightarrow{HCl, H_2O, \Delta}\)
Choose the correct answer from the options given below.
Step 1: Understanding the Question:
Evaluate four organic transformation pathways to identify which ones produce aniline (\(C_6H_5NH_2\)) as the major product.
Step 3: Detailed Explanation:
Let's predict the product for each reaction:
A. Benzonitrile (\(Ph-CN\)) treated with a strong reducing agent like \(LiAlH_4\) reduces the nitrile completely to a primary amine, forming benzylamine (\(Ph-CH_2NH_2\)), not aniline.
B. Benzamide (\(Ph-CONH_2\)) reacts with \(Br_2\) in the presence of \(KOH\). This is the Hoffmann bromamide degradation reaction, which removes the carbonyl carbon as carbonate and yields a primary amine with one less carbon: Aniline (\(Ph-NH_2\)).
C. Nitrobenzene (\(Ph-NO_2\)) with \(NaBH_4\). Sodium borohydride is a mild reducing agent and is generally unreactive toward aromatic nitro groups under normal conditions. It does not yield aniline. (Typically, \(Sn/HCl\) or \(H_2/Pd\) is used).
D. N-Phenylacetamide (Acetanilide, \(Ph-NH-COCH_3\)) boiled with aqueous HCl undergoes acid-catalyzed amide hydrolysis. The amide bond cleaves to form Aniline (\(Ph-NH_2\)) and acetic acid (\(CH_3COOH\)).
Reactions B and D yield aniline.
Step 4: Final Answer:
The correct options are B and D only.
Quick Tip: Hoffmann bromamide degradation is an excellent step-down reaction for synthesizing aromatic amines directly from primary amides. Amide hydrolysis is the standard method for unprotecting an amine.

For the following reaction sequence, choose the correct option
[Reaction scheme: Benzene \(\xrightarrow{i. CH_3COCl, AlCl_3 \quad ii. NaOCl}\) P + Q]
Step 1: Understanding the Question:
We need to determine the intermediate and final products of a two-step organic reaction sequence starting from benzene, and then evaluate four descriptive statements about the final products P and Q.
Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:
1. Friedel-Crafts Acylation: Benzene + Acetyl chloride (\(CH_3COCl\)) + Lewis acid (\(AlCl_3\)) yields Acetophenone (\(Ph-CO-CH_3\)).
2. Haloform Reaction: Acetophenone contains a methyl ketone group (\(-CO-CH_3\)). Treatment with sodium hypochlorite (\(NaOCl\)) undergoes the haloform reaction to yield the sodium salt of a carboxylic acid (\(Ph-COONa\)) and a haloform precipitate (\(CHCl_3\)).
Step 3: Detailed Explanation:
Step 1 product: Acetophenone.
Step 2 products (P + Q): Sodium benzoate (\(C_6H_5COONa\)) and Chloroform (\(CHCl_3\)).
Let's evaluate the options based on these products:
(A) Neither Sodium benzoate nor Chloroform is considered a standard "carbonyl compound" (ketone/aldehyde) in this context. Chloroform certainly isn't. (False)
(B) If P is sodium benzoate, Q is chloroform, which is a haloalkane, not a primary alcohol. (False)
(C) Sodium benzoate is aromatic, but chloroform is aliphatic. Both are not aromatic. (False)
(D) If P is sodium benzoate (\(PhCOONa\)), acidification yields benzoic acid (\(PhCOOH\)). If Q is chloroform (\(CHCl_3\)), exposure to oxygen and UV light oxidizes it to phosgene gas (\(COCl_2\)), which is highly poisonous. This perfectly matches the properties of the products. (True)
Step 4: Final Answer:
The correct statement is (4) If P gives a carboxylic acid on acidification, Q gives a poisonous gas on exposure to air and light.
Quick Tip: Chloroform is stored in dark amber bottles filled to the brim to prevent the formation of deadly phosgene gas (\(2CHCl_3 + O_2 \xrightarrow{light} 2COCl_2 + 2HCl\)).
