Statement 1 : In strongly acidic solutions, aniline becomes more reactive towards electrophilic reagents
Statement 2 : The amino group is protonated in strongly acidic solution, and thus the lone pair of electron on the nitrogen is no longer available for resonance.

A

Statement 1 is True, statement 2 is True, Statement 2 is Correct explanation for Statement 1.

B

Statement 1 is True, Statement 2 is True, Statement 2 is NOT a correct explanation for Statement 1.

C

Statement 1 is True, Statement 2 is False.

D

Statement 1 is False, Statement 2 is True.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
In strongly acidic conditions, aniline becomes protonated with the result lone pair of electrons is not available to produce +E and+M effects. On the other hand, the `-overset(o+)(NH_3)` group exerts strong-I effect causing deactivation of the ring.

Statement 1 : Acetoacetic ester (CH_(3)COCH_(2)COOC_(2)H_(5)) contains CH_(3)CO group but does not give iodoform test. Statement 2 : The H-atoms of the CH_(3) group are more acidic than those of CH_(2) group.

Statement 1 : Carboxylic acids (R-overset(O)overset(||)C-OH) have a carbonyl group but it does not give the test of carbonyl group. Statement 2 : Due to resonance, the double bond character of group is greatly reduced

Aldehydes and ketones are amphoteric. Thus they can react both as acids and bases. Under acidic conditions, the carbon of the protonated carbonyl group is much more electrophilic, reacting even with weak necleophile. Carbonyl compound gives nucleophilic addition reaction. In this reaction the nucleophilic attack precedes the electrophilic attack. Which of the statements regarding nucleophilic addition to carbonyl compounds "is"//"are" correct?

Paragraph Carboxylic acids are distinctly acidic because they ionize in water to give hydronium ions: RCOOH+H_(2)O hArr RCOO^(-) +H_(3)O^(+) The acidic strength depends upon the extent of ionizations of the acid and the stability of the anion formed. The acidic strength can also be expressed in terms of dissociation constant K_(a) or pK_(a) which are related as pK_(a)= -log K_(a) . Most unsubstituted carboxylic acids have K_(a) values in the range of 10^(-4) to 10^(-5) (pK_(a) =4-5) . The substitutents have marked effect on the acidic strength of carboxylic acids. Any group that stabilizes the carboxylate ion more than the carboxylic acid group will increase the acidic strength, and the group which destabilizes the carboxylate group more than the carboxylic acid group will decrease the acidic strength. In a similar manner, the electron-releasing groups makes benzoic acid weaker, while the electron-withdrawing groups make benzoic acid stronger. The ortho isomer of every substituted benzoic acid (whether electron releasing or electron withdrawing) is the strongest among the three isomers due to ortho effect. Which of the following statement is not correct?
