JEE Main 2026 Chemistry question
Given below are two statements: Statement I: Heating benzamide with bromine in an ethanolic solution of sodium hydroxide will give benzylamine. Statement II: Nitration of aniline with HNO₃/H₂SO₄ at 288 K produces m-nitroaniline in higher amount than o-nitroaniline (pH adjusted).
Answer: (D)
Solution
Hofmann degradation of benzamide (PhCONH₂) gives aniline (PhNH₂), not benzylamine, so Statement I is false. Under strongly
