The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step 1: Understand the Assertion The assertion states that when `R₃C-NH₂` (a primary amine attached to a tertiary carbon) is oxidized with `KMnO₄`, it produces `R₃C-NO₂` (a nitro compound) in good yield. ### Step 2: Analyze the Reaction When primary amines are oxidized with potassium permanganate (KMnO₄), the reaction can lead to the formation of nitro compounds, particularly when the amine is attached to a tertiary carbon. ### Step 3: Consider the Mechanism 1. **Oxidation of Primary Amines**: Primary amines can undergo oxidation with KMnO₄ to form hydroxylamines, which can further oxidize to nitroso compounds, and eventually to nitro compounds. 2. **Tertiary Carbon Influence**: The presence of a tertiary carbon (R₃C) influences the oxidation pathway, allowing the formation of nitro compounds directly from the primary amine. ### Step 4: Evaluate the Reason The reason provided states that "KMnO₄ always oxidizes amines to nitro compounds." This is not entirely accurate, as not all amines are oxidized to nitro compounds. For example: - Primary amines with one carbon yield nitro compounds. - Primary amines with two carbons yield aldehydes. - Primary amines attached to secondary carbons yield ketones. ### Step 5: Conclusion Based on the analysis: - The assertion is true: `R₃C-NH₂` can produce `R₃C-NO₂` upon oxidation with KMnO₄. - The reason is false: KMnO₄ does not always oxidize amines to nitro compounds. Thus, the correct conclusion is that the assertion is true, but the reason is false. ### Final Answer The correct option is that the assertion is true, but the reason is false. ---
