Which of the following reaction is an example of ammonolysis?

Question:

Which of the following reaction is an example of ammonolysis?

  1. $\mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{COCl}+\mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{NH}_{2} \longrightarrow \mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{CONHC}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{5}$

  2. $\mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{CN} \stackrel{[\mathrm{H}]}{\longrightarrow} \mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{NH}_{2}$

  3. $\mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{NH}_{2} \stackrel{\mathrm{HCl}}{\longrightarrow} \mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{5} \stackrel{+}{\mathrm{NH}}_{3} \mathrm{Cl}^{-}$

  4. $\mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{Cl}+\mathrm{NH}_{3} \longrightarrow \mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{NH}_{2}$


Correct Option: , 4

Solution:

The process of cleavage of the $\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{X}$ bond by Ammonia molecule is known as ammonolysis.

$\mathrm{Ex}: \mathrm{R}-\mathrm{CH}_{2}-\mathrm{Cl}+\ddot{\mathrm{NH}_{3}} \longrightarrow \mathrm{R}-\mathrm{CH}_{2}-\mathrm{NH}_{2}$
