The correct Answer is:
To solve the given reaction sequence step by step, we will analyze the reaction of benzylamine (C6H5-CH2-NH2) with chloroform (CHCl3) and alcoholic KOH, followed by hydrolysis with water and sodium hydroxide. ### Step 1: Reaction of Benzylamine with Chloroform and Alcoholic KOH 1. **Starting Compound**: The starting compound is benzylamine (C6H5-CH2-NH2). 2. **Reagents**: We are using chloroform (CHCl3) and alcoholic KOH. 3. **Mechanism**: In the presence of alcoholic KOH, chloroform acts as a source of the isocyanide (or carbylamine) formation. The basic medium facilitates the deprotonation of the amine, allowing it to react with chloroform. 4. **Formation of Isocyanide**: The reaction leads to the formation of benzyl isocyanide (C6H5-CH2-NC), which can be represented as: \[ C6H5-CH2-NH2 + CHCl3 + KOH \rightarrow C6H5-CH2-NC + KCl + H2O \] This compound is the product [X]. ### Step 2: Hydrolysis of Isocyanide 1. **Next Step**: The product [X] (benzyl isocyanide) is then treated with water and sodium hydroxide (NaOH). 2. **Hydrolysis Reaction**: The isocyanide undergoes hydrolysis in the presence of water and NaOH to yield benzylamine and formic acid (HCOOH): \[ C6H5-CH2-NC + H2O \rightarrow C6H5-CH2-NH2 + HCOOH \] Here, the isocyanide is converted back to the original amine (benzylamine) and formic acid. ### Final Product - The final product [Y] after hydrolysis is benzylamine (C6H5-CH2-NH2). ### Conclusion Thus, the correct answer for [Y] is: \[ \text{C6H5-CH2-NH2 (benzylamine)} \] ### Answer The correct option is C: C6H5-CH2-NH2. ---
