The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine how many primary amines can be formed from a mixture of primary amides with the molecular formula \( C_8H_9NO \) when they react with \( Br_2 \) in the presence of \( NaOH \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Structure of Primary Amides**: - The amide functional group is represented as \( C=O \) (carbonyl) attached to \( NH_2 \) (amine). - Since the amides are benzenoid, they will have a benzene ring attached to the amide group. 2. **Determine Possible Structures for \( C_8H_9NO \)**: - The molecular formula \( C_8H_9NO \) indicates that we have a benzene ring (which contributes \( C_6H_5 \)) and additional atoms to account for the remaining \( C_2H_4NO \). - Possible structures for the amides can be: - \( C_6H_5C(=O)NH_2 \) (Benzamide) - \( C_6H_4(CH_3)C(=O)NH_2 \) (with \( CH_3 \) at ortho, meta, or para positions). 3. **Count Possible Isomers**: - The methyl group \( CH_3 \) can be placed at three different positions on the benzene ring: - Ortho position - Meta position - Para position - Thus, we can have the following four primary amides: 1. \( C_6H_5C(=O)NH_2 \) (Benzamide) 2. \( C_6H_4(CH_3)C(=O)NH_2 \) (Ortho) 3. \( C_6H_4(CH_3)C(=O)NH_2 \) (Meta) 4. \( C_6H_4(CH_3)C(=O)NH_2 \) (Para) 4. **Reaction with Bromine and Sodium Hydroxide**: - The reaction of primary amides with \( Br_2 \) in the presence of \( NaOH \) leads to the Hofmann degradation reaction, which converts the amide to a primary amine by removing the carbonyl group. - The general reaction can be summarized as: \[ R-C(=O)NH_2 \xrightarrow{Br_2/NaOH} R-NH_2 \] 5. **Identify the Products**: - Each of the four amides will yield a corresponding primary amine: 1. From Benzamide: \( C_6H_5NH_2 \) 2. From Ortho-substituted amide: \( CH_3C_6H_4NH_2 \) 3. From Meta-substituted amide: \( CH_3C_6H_4NH_2 \) 4. From Para-substituted amide: \( CH_3C_6H_4NH_2 \) 6. **Count Unique Primary Amines**: - The four amides yield four distinct primary amines: 1. \( C_6H_5NH_2 \) (Benzamine) 2. \( CH_3C_6H_4NH_2 \) (Ortho) 3. \( CH_3C_6H_4NH_2 \) (Meta) 4. \( CH_3C_6H_4NH_2 \) (Para) 7. **Conclusion**: - The total number of unique primary amines formed is **4**. ### Final Answer: The number of primary amines products formed will be **4**.
