View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
- Reaction of cyclohexylamine with nitrous acid
Cyclohexylamine is a primary aliphatic amine. Primary aliphatic amines react with nitrous acid to form the corresponding alcohol:
So,
- Oxidation of }P\text{ with PCC
PCC oxidizes a secondary alcohol to a ketone. Cyclohexanol is a secondary alcohol, so:
Thus,
- Heating }Q\text{ with dilute NaOH
Cyclohexanone has -hydrogens, so in dilute NaOH it undergoes aldol condensation (self-condensation).
First, one molecule forms the enolate and attacks another molecule of cyclohexanone to give the -hydroxy ketone. On heating, dehydration occurs to form the -unsaturated ketone.
The product is:
This is the self-aldol condensation product of cyclohexanone.
- Final answer
Therefore,
So the correct option is B.
