Ques. 1JEE Main 2026, 2 April (Morning Shift)

For the given molecule, "x", the preferred site for the attack of the electrophile is : [figure]

  1. Predominantly at "r"
  2. "r" and "u"
  3. "p" and "s"
  4. Predominantly at "u"

Answer

(4) Predominantly at "u"

Solution

x is benzanilide, C6H5CO-NH-C6H5.

Ring bearing p and r (benzoyl ring): attached to C=O, an electron-withdrawing group ⇒ this ring is deactivated (and C=O is meta directing), so p and r are not preferred.

Ring bearing s and u (anilide ring): attached to N, whose lone pair is donated into the ring by resonance ⇒ this ring is activated and ortho/para directing.

(The lone pair is also shared with C=O, so activation is moderate — just as in acetanilide.)

s is ortho and u is para to –NHCOPh. ∵ –NHCOPh is a bulky group, attack at the ortho position s is sterically hindered.

As per NCERT, acetanilide on bromination gives p-bromoacetanilide as the major product; in the same way here

∴ the electrophile attacks predominantly at the para position u.

A student performed analysis of an aliphatic organic compound 'X' which on analysis gave C = 61.01%, H = 15.25%, N = 23.74%. This compound, on treatment with HNO2/H2O, produced another compound 'Y' which did not contain any nitrogen atom. However, the compound 'Y' upon controlled oxidation produced another compound 'Z' that responded to iodoform test. The structure of 'X' is :
