Question

In the following reaction sequence, $\ce{CH3CHO ->[Cl_2][Ca(OH)_2] X ->[C_6H_5NH_2][Alc. KOH] Y}$ $Y$ is

• A. $CH_3CH = NHC_6H_5$
• B. $C_6H_5NHCH_3$
• C. $C_6H_5NC$
• D. $C_6H_5NCO$

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

$C_6H_5NC$

Answer 2

$CH_{3}CHO+Cl_{2} \to \underset{\text{chloral}}{CCl_{3}CHO} \ce{->[Ca(OH)_{2}] }\underset{\text{chloroform (X)}}{CHCl_{3}}$
