Question

In the following reaction sequence,
$ \ce{CH3CHO ->[Cl_2][Ca(OH)_2] X ->[C_6H_5NH_2][Alc. KOH] Y}$ $Y$ is

• A. $ CH_3CH = NHC_6H_5 $
• B. $ C_6H_5NHCH_3 $
• C. $ C_6H_5NC $
• D. $ C_6H_5NCO $

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

$CH_{3}CHO+Cl_{2} \to \underset{\text{chloral}}{CCl_{3}CHO} \ce{->[Ca(OH)_{2}] }\underset{\text{chloroform (X)}}{CHCl_{3}}$
