On hydrolysis of a "compound", two compounds are obtained. One of which on treatment with sodium nitrite and hydrochloric acid gives a product which does not respond to iodoform test. The second one reduces Tollen's reagent and Fehling's solution. The "compound" is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
CH3CH2CH2NC{CH}_3 {CH}_2 {CH}_2 {NC}
Option B (CH3CH2CH2NC) is correct because the hydrolysis of propyl isocyanide yields propylamine and formic acid. Propylamine, upon treatment with NaNO2 and HCl, gives propanol, which does not respond to the iodoform test. Formic acid reduces Tollen's reagent and Fehling's solution.

Given below are two statements:

Statement I: Aniline reacts with con. H2SO4\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4, followed by heating at 453−473 K453-473 \mathrm{~K} gives p−\mathrm{p}- aminobenzene sulphonic acid, which gives blood red colour in the 'Lassaigne's test'.
Statement II: In Friedel-Craft's alkylation and acylation reactions, aniline forms salt with the AlCl3\mathrm{AlCl}_3 catalyst. Due to this, nitrogen of aniline acquires a positive charge and acts as deactivating group.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Correct option: C
Both statement I and statement II are true
The correct answer is C (Both statement I and statement II are true) because aniline does form p-aminobenzene sulfonic acid and gives a positive Lassaigne's test, and it also forms a salt with AlCl3, deactivating the ring.
