Primary nitroalkanes on boiling with hydrochloric acid undergo hydrolysis to form
- A Alcohol and nitrous acid
- B Carboxylic acid and hydroxyl amine
- C Aldehyde and hydroxyl amine
- D Ketone and nitrous acid
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) Carboxylic acid and hydroxyl amine
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Primary nitroalkanes undergo hydrolysis when heated with 85 per cent sulphuric acid to form hydroxylamine sulphate and the corresponding carboxylic acid. In particular, hydrolysis of the industrially available 1-nitropropane provides a commercial source of hydroxylamine
