The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the information given about the compound (X) with the molecular formula \( C_4H_{11}N \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Type of Amine**: - The molecular formula \( C_4H_{11}N \) indicates that the compound (X) is an amine. Given that it reacts with \( HNO_2 \) to produce a tertiary alcohol, we can deduce that (X) is a primary amine. This is because primary amines react with nitrous acid to form alcohols. **Hint**: Recall that primary amines yield alcohols upon reaction with nitrous acid. 2. **Determine the Structure of Compound (X)**: - A primary amine with the formula \( C_4H_{11}N \) can be represented as \( R-NH_2 \). The simplest structure that fits this formula is \( CH_3-CH_2-CH_2-NH_2 \) (butylamine) or \( (CH_3)_2CH-NH_2 \) (isobutylamine). Both are valid structures for primary amines. **Hint**: Consider the structural possibilities for a primary amine with four carbons. 3. **Reaction with \( HNO_2 \)**: - When a primary amine reacts with nitrous acid (\( HNO_2 \)), it forms a diazonium salt as an intermediate, which then decomposes to form an alcohol. The resulting alcohol has the formula \( C_4H_{10}O \), which is consistent with a tertiary alcohol. **Hint**: Remember that primary amines form diazonium salts which can decompose to give alcohols. 4. **Identify the Product**: - The product formed is a tertiary alcohol with the molecular formula \( C_4H_{10}O \). This suggests that the alcohol has a branched structure, likely \( (CH_3)_3C-OH \) (tert-butanol), which is consistent with the reaction of a primary amine. **Hint**: Think about how the structure of the alcohol relates to the original amine structure. 5. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the compound (X) is a primary amine that upon treatment with \( HNO_2 \) gives a tertiary alcohol. The possible reactions that (X) can undergo include the formation of diazonium salts and the mustard oil reaction. **Hint**: Primary amines can undergo multiple reactions, including forming diazonium salts and participating in mustard oil reactions. ### Final Answer: The compound (X) will give: 1. Diazonium salt (as an intermediate). 2. Tertiary alcohol upon reaction with \( HNO_2 \). 3. It will also respond to the mustard oil reaction.
