JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 12 - 9. Amines

Given below are two statements :
Statement I: Heating benzamide with bromine in an ethanolic solution of sodium hydroxide will give benzylamine.
Statement II: Nitration of aniline with \(HNO_3/H_2SO_4\) at \(288\text{ K}\) produces \(m\)-nitroaniline in higher amount than \(o\)-nitroaniline (pH adjusted).
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :

  1. A Both Statement I and Statement II are true
  2. B Both Statement I and Statement II are false
  3. C Statement I is true but Statement II is false
  4. D Statement I is false but Statement II is true
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) Statement I is false but Statement II is true

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation
