Correct answer: A
- Identify the confirmatory test for aromatic primary amines
Aromatic primary amines such as aniline are commonly confirmed by the diazotisation followed by azo dye formation test.
- Step 1: Diazotisation reagent
An aromatic primary amine reacts with nitrous acid at low temperature to form a diazonium salt.
Since nitrous acid is unstable, it is generated in situ using:
So reagent (A) must be nitrous acid generation conditions, i.e. at .
- Step 2: Coupling reagent
The diazonium salt then couples with an activated aromatic compound such as -naphthol in alkaline medium to form a brightly colored azo dye, which is the confirmatory observation.
So reagent (B) must be alkaline -naphthol.
- Conclusion
Thus the confirmatory test uses:
- (A): at low temperature
- (B): alkaline -naphthol
Hence, the correct option is the one corresponding to these reagents, which is given as Option A.
- Comparison with stored answer
Stored correct answer = A
My derived answer = A
So they agree.
