A) Carbylamine reaction
B) Hofmann bromamide reaction
C) Hofmann mustard oil reaction
D) Hinsberg's reaction
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
p-amines react with \[C{{S}_{2}}\]in the presence of \[HgC{{l}_{2}}\]to give isothiocyanates having a characteristic smell of mustard oil and the reaction is called Hofmann's mustard oil reaction. \[R-N{{H}_{2}}+C{{S}_{2}}\xrightarrow{HgC{{l}_{2}}}\underset{\text{Isothiocyante}}{\mathop{RN=C=S}}\,+HgS+2HCl\] \[(R=alkyl\,or\,aryl)\] Hence, the correct option is [c].You need to login to perform this action.
