    The reaction, \[RCOOH\xrightarrow{Na{{N}_{3}}/conc.{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}}\]                 \[RN{{H}_{2}}+{{N}_{2}}+C{{O}_{2}}\] is known as:

    A) Curtius reaction               

    B) Lossen reaction

    C) Schmidt reaction

    D)       Hofmann reaction

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Key Idea: Define all reactions to find correct answer (a) Curtius reaction \[R-\overset{O}{\mathop{\overset{||}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,-{{N}_{3}}\xrightarrow[-{{N}_{2}}]{\Delta }R-N=O\] (b) Lossen reaction \[R-\overset{O}{\mathop{\overset{||}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,-\underset{H}{\mathop{\underset{|}{\mathop{N}}\,}}\,-OH\xrightarrow[Base]{TsCl}R-NCO\] (c) Schmidt reaction \[R-\overset{O}{\mathop{\overset{||}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,-OH\xrightarrow[{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}]{Na{{N}_{3}}}R-N{{H}_{2}}\] \[+\,{{N}_{2}}+C{{O}_{2}}\] (d) Hofmann reaction \[R-\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  O \\  \,|| \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,-N{{H}_{2}}\xrightarrow[-C{{O}_{2}}]{NaOH}\,RN{{H}_{2}}\] \[\therefore \]  (c) is correct answer.
