An aromatic amine (X) was treated with alcoholic potash and another compound (Y) then foul smelling gas C6H5NC is formed . The compound (Y) was formed by reacting compound (Z) with Cl2 in the presence of slaked lime. The compound (Z) is

A

CHCl3

B

CH3COCH3

C

CH3OH

D

C6H5NH2

Answer

CH3COCH3

Explanation

Solution

Ph – NH2 →CHCl3KOH\xrightarrow [ \mathrm { CHCl } _ { 3 } ] { \mathrm { KOH } }

CH3COCH3→Cl2/Ca(OH)2(CH3COO)2Ca+CHCl3\mathrm { CH } _ { 3 } \mathrm { COCH } _ { 3 } \xrightarrow { \mathrm { Cl } _ { 2 } / \mathrm { Ca } ( \mathrm { OH } ) _ { 2 } } \left( \mathrm { CH } _ { 3 } \mathrm { COO } \right) _ { 2 } \mathrm { Ca } + \mathrm { CHCl } _ { 3 }
