A compound $$X$$ has molecular formula $${C}_{7}{H}_{7}NO$$. On treatment with $${Br}_{2}$$ and $$KOH$$, $$X$$ gives an amine $$Y$$. The later gives carbylamine test. $$Y$$ upon diazotisation and coupling with phenol gives an azo dye. Thus, $$X$$ is :

A$${C}_{6}{H}_{5}N{O}_{2}$$
B$${C}_{6}{H}_{5}COON{H}_{4}$$
C$${C}_{6}{H}_{5}CON{H}_{2}$$
Correct Answer
Dnone of the above

Solution

1. C7H7NO, show the high degree of unsaturation, so it can be considered that there may be phenyl group, as phenyl group has 3 double bond.

2. As the compound C7H7NO, when reacts with Br2/KOH , gives the amine Y. It shows that there must be amide group in C7H7NO compound, as this reaction is Hoffmann Bromamide synthesis.

3. As this amine is synthesized by Hoffmann Bromamide synthesis, it gives carbylamine test, so it means that amine must be primary amine.

4. Now as upon diazotisation this amine forms diazonium salt, also it gives the coupling reaction with phenol to give an azo dye, then it must be aromatic diazonium salt. If it were aliphatic then it would form alcohol by releasing N2, and the coupling could not be possible.

So, all these steps show that this is C6H5CONH2.
Reactions:
1. C6H5CONH2(X)+Br2+4KOH⟶C6H5NH2(Y)+K2CO3+2KBr+2H2O

2. C6H5NH2(Y)+CHCl3+3KOH+
heat
→
C6H5−NC+3KCl+3H2O.

3. C6H5NH2(Y)
NaNO2+2HCl(at 273−278K)
→
