Question:

An aromatic compound (X) of molecular formula, C7H7Cl, on ammonolysis gives Y (Molecular formula, C7H9N). The compound Y reacts with two moles of CH3Cl gives N, N-Dimethylphenylmethanamine. The compounds 'X' and 'Y' are

Show Hint

The reaction of benzylchloride with ammonia forms benzylamine, and further reaction with methyl chloride gives N,N-dimethylphenylmethanamine.

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

We are given the following information: - Compound X (C7H7Cl) reacts with ammonia to give Compound Y (C7H9N). - Compound Y reacts with two moles of CH3Cl to give N,N-Dimethylphenylmethanamine. The key reaction is the ammonolysis of benzylchloride (C6H5CH2Cl), which reacts with ammonia to form benzylamine (C6H5CH2NH2). The benzylamine further reacts with CH3Cl to give N,N-Dimethylphenylmethanamine. Thus, X is benzylchloride and Y is benzylamine, and the correct answer is (C) Benzylchloride and Benzylamine.
