Question

Which of the following represents Schotten–Baumann reaction?

• A. formation of amides from amines and acid chlorides/NaOH
• B. formation of amines from amides and LiAlH₄
• C. formation of amines from amides and Br₂/NaOH
• D. formation of amides from oxime and H₂SO₄

Hint:

Schotten–Baumann = amide formation using acid chloride in alkaline medium.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Schotten–Baumann reaction involves: Amine + Acid chloride xrightarrowNaOH Amide Step 2: It is used to prepare amides under alkaline conditions. Step 3: Other options correspond to different named reactions: \beginitemize • LiAlH₄ – reduction • Br₂/NaOH – Hofmann bromamide • Oxime + acid – Beckmann rearrangement \enditemize
