Question

In a set of reactions, propionic acid yielded a compound D
`underset((A))(CH_(3)CH_(2)COOH) overset(SOCl_(2))(rarr) B overset(NH_(3))(rarr) C overset(Br_(2)//KOH)(rarr) D`
The structure of D would be
A. `CH_(3)CH_(2)NH_(2)`
B. `CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)NH_(2)`
C. `CH_(3)CH_(2)CONH_(2)`
D. `CH(3)CH_(2)NHCH_(3)`.

Answer 1

Correct Answer - A
`underset((A))(CH_(3)CH_(2)COOH) overset(SOCl_(2))(rarr) underset((B))(CH_(3)CH_(2)COCl) underset(-NH_(4)Cl)overset(NH_(3)" excess")(rarr) underset((C))(CH_(3)CH_(2)CONH_(2)) overset(Br_(2)//KOH)(rarr) underset((D))(CH_(3)CH_(2)NH_(2))`
