QuestionOrganic / Hofmann exhaustive methylation
The isomeric methyl piperidine with molecular formula C₆H₁₃N shown in the Column-I undergo following set of reactions :
C₆H₁₃N —[(i) excess CH₃I/K₂CO₃ (ii) Ag₂O, H₂O (iii) heat]→ —[(i) excess CH₃I/K₂CO₃ (ii) Ag₂O, H₂O (iii) heat]→ Major product
Match the isomeric methyl piperidine compound from Column-I with the major product formed from Column-II and select the correct answer using the code given below the columns :
| Column-I | Column-II |
|---|---|
| A. 1-Methylpiperidine | 1. 1,4-hexadiene |
| B. 2-Methylpiperidine | 2. 1,5-hexadiene |
| C. 3-Methylpiperidine | 3. 1,4-pentadiene |
| D. 4-Methylpiperidine | 4. 2-methyl-1,4-pentadiene |
| 5. 3-methyl-1,4-pentadiene |
Code :
- (a) A-2, B-3, C-1, D-5
- (b) A-3, B-1, C-5, D-4
- (c) A-3, B-2, C-4, D-5
- (d) A-2, B-4, C-1, D-3
