Chemistry Question on Aldehydes, Ketones and Carboxylic Acids
Decarboxylation of all six possible forms of diaminobenzoic acid C6H3(NH2)2COOH yields three products A, B and C. Three acids give a product ‘A’, two acids give a product ‘B’ and one acid gives a product ‘C’. The melting point of product ‘C’ is
A
63ºC
B
90ºC
C
104ºC
D
142ºC
Answer
142ºC
Explanation
Solution
Melting point of product (C) = 142∘C
Hence, the correct option is (D): 142∘C
