Question

Which of the following reaction is an example of ammonolysis?

• A. $C _{6} H _{5} COCl + C _{6} H _{5} NH _{2} \longrightarrow C _{6} H _{5} CONHC _{6} H _{5}$
• B. $ C _{6} H _{5} CH _{2} CN \xrightarrow{(H)} C _{6} H _{5} CH _{2} CH _{2} NH _{2}$
• C. $C _{6} H _{5} NH _{2} \xrightarrow{ HCl } C _{6} H _{5} \overset{+}{N}H _{3} Cl ^{-}$
• D. $C _{6} H _{5} CH _{2} Cl + NH _{3} \longrightarrow C _{6} H _{5} CH _{2} NH _{2}$

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

The process of cleavage of the $C - X$ bond by Ammonia molecule is known as ammonolysis.
Ex :$ R - CH _{2}- Cl +\ddot{ N} H_{3} \longrightarrow R - CH _{2}- NH _{2}$
