Do it carefully!

Chemistry Level 3

An Organic compound A ( C X 7 H X 6 O \ce{C7H6O} ) on treatment with hydroxyl amine produces two isomeric compounds B and C. B and C on acidification produces two compounds D and E respectively. D on alkaline hydrolysis produces a white crystalline solid F and releases ammonia gas, whereas alkaline hydrolysis of E produces G and formic acid. Now answer

  • which compounds among A-G contains two C-N bonds

  • which compound among A-G is most acidic

  • Which compund having minimum molar mass among A-G gives di azo reaction.

Nice question!

Firstly by Looking at degree of unsaturation of A (5) my first guess was Benzaldehyde! .

Then on reaction with Hydroxyl amine Benzaldehyde gives two isomeric Oximes (Syn and Anti) (Its a nucleophilic addition reaction)

The oximes will be Aldoximes . Next you have the infamous Beckmann Rearrangement for Oximes which is a stereospecific reaction that is The group trans to OH Group migrates in beckmann rearrangement

In one Oxime Ph will be opposite to OH and in one oxime H Will opposite to OH (B,C)

You will obtain two compounds from two oximes namely HCONHPh And PhCONH2

Now We aregiven D On alkaline hydrolysis produces ammonia gas and white solid F.

So D Must be PhCONH2 As on alkaline hydrolysis it will give ammonia and Benzoic Acid (F)

Hydrolysis of E (HCONHPh) will give Formic Acid and Aniline (G).

From structures we can easily See that Compounds B,C And E Contain two CN Bonds

Also clearly benzoic Acid (F) Will be most acidic compound

And Aniline gives Diazotisation reaction with NaNO2 And HCl

Yes you did it correctly!

Isnt formation of E abnormal Beckmann Rearrangement?? here cyanide should be formed.
