The total number of compounds from below when treated with hot KMnO4 giving benzoic acid is:
The total number of compounds from below when treated with hot KMnO4 giving benzoic acid is:
Show Hint
- 6
- 3
- 5
- 4
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Hot KMnO4 is a strong oxidizing agent that cleaves alkyl side chains attached to benzene rings, converting the alkyl group into a carboxyl group, thus forming benzoic acid.
In the given compounds, the ones with alkyl groups on the benzene ring will be oxidized to benzoic acid.
The number of such compounds that will undergo this transformation is 5.
Top Questions on Amines
Amines are usually formed from amides, imides, halides, nitro compounds, etc. They exhibit hydrogen bonding which influences their physical properties. In alkyl amines, a combination of electron releasing, steric and H-bonding factors influence the stability of the substituted ammonium cations in protic polar solvents and thus affect the basic nature of amines. Alkyl amines are found to be stronger bases than ammonia. Amines being basic in nature, react with acids to form salts. Aryldiazonium salts, undergo replacement of the diazonium group with a variety of nucleophiles to produce aryl halides, cyanides, phenols and arenes.
