Question

The transition of acylazide (RCON\(_3\)) with acidic or alkaline medium gives:

• A. RCONH\(_2\)
• B. R–NH\(_2\)
• C. RCOCH\(_3\)
• D. RCOOH

Hint:

Acylazides are reactive intermediates and can be converted to amides under basic or acidic conditions.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Understand the reaction of acylazides. Acylazides (\( \text{RCON}_3 \)) undergo a nucleophilic substitution reaction with water or other nucleophiles, producing amides (\( \text{R–NH}_2 \)).
Step 2: Conclusion. Thus, acylazide in acidic or alkaline medium reacts to form R–NH\(_2\).
