Correct answer: D
- Identify the starting compound
The given compound is: which is 1,4-dichlorobutane.
- Reaction with excess ammonia
Alkyl halides react with excess via nucleophilic substitution. Since there are two chlorine atoms, both can be replaced by amino groups.
First, substitution gives ammonium salts, and finally the corresponding diamine is formed.
So intermediate is the diammonium salt: This corresponds to the salt of butane-1,4-diamine.
- Action of NaOH on A
deprotonates the ammonium groups:
\rightarrow \mathrm{H_2N}-(\mathrm{CH}_2)_4-\mathrm{NH_2} + 2\mathrm{NaCl} + 2\mathrm{H_2O}$$ Thus, $B$ is: $$\mathrm{H_2N}-(\mathrm{CH}_2)_4-\mathrm{NH_2}$$ 4. **Match with options** The product $B$ is **butane-1,4-diamine**, which is given in **Option D**. 5. **Comparison with stored answer** Stored correct answer: **D** Derived answer: **D** They match.More from Haloalkanes and Haloarenes
