b) CH3CH2OH
c) KI
Section- D
The following questions are case based questions. Each question has an internal choice and
carries 4(1+1+2) marks each. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.

31. Benzene ring in aniline is highly activated. This is due to the sharing of lone pair of nitrogen
with the ring which results in increase in the electron density on the ring and hence facilitates
the electrophilic attack. The substitution mainly takes place at Ortho and para positions
because electron density is more at Ortho and para positions. On reaction with aqueous
bromine all the ortho and para position get substituted resulting in the formation of 2,4,6-
tribromoaniline. To get a monobromo compound, the amino group is acetylated before
bromination. After bromination, the bromoacetanilide is acid hydrolysed to give the desired
halogenated amine.
a) Why does -NH2 group facilitates electrophilic attack in aniline?
b) Explain why: in aniline, the substitution mainly takes place at Ortho and Para positions.
c) Show the conversion of benzene into aniline.

32. In amines the N atoms of the amino group are SP3 hybridised. Amines readily lose its
electron pair and act as a base. In aliphatic amines ,the alkyl group tends to increase the
electron density on the nitrogen atom due to the +I effect. In aromatic amines, the basic
strengths are influenced by the presence of an electron withdrawing group at the O-, m- and p-
position in the ring.
a) Lower member of aliphatic amines are soluble in water . Why?
b) Out of (CH3)3N and and (CH3)2NH which one is more basic in aqueous solution?
c) Which isomer of C3H9N which does not react with Hinsberg’s reagent.
 Section- E
The following questions are long answer type and carry five marks each two questions have
internal choice.

33. An organic compound A with molecular formula C7 H7NO reacts with Br2/aq. KOH to give
compound 'B', which upon reaction with NaNO2 and HCl at 00 Celsius gives 'C'. Compound 'C'
on heating with CH3CH2OH gives hydrocarbon 'D'. compound 'B' on further reaction with Br2
water gives white precipitate of compound 'E'. Identify the compound A,B,C,D and 'E'.
Also justify your answer by giving relevant chemical equations.
OR
An aromatic compound 'A' on treatment with aqueous ammonia and heating forms compound
'B' which on heating with Br2 and KOH forms a compound 'C' of molecular formula C6H7N. write
