Vedclass · Answer

(C) The reaction of nitro compounds with nitrous acid $(HNO_2)$ depends on the presence of $\alpha$-hydrogen atoms.$1^o$ nitro compounds (containing two $\alpha$-hydrogens) react with $HNO_2$ to form nitrolic acids,which dissolve in $NaOH$ to give a red solution.$2^o$ nitro compounds (containing one $\alpha$-hydrogen) react with $HNO_2$ to form pseudonitroles,which dissolve in $NaOH$ to give a blue solution.$3^o$ nitro compounds do not contain any $\alpha$-hydrogen atoms,and therefore,they do not react with nitrous acid.In the given options:$(A)$ $CH_3CH_2CH_2NO_2$ is a $1^o$ nitro compound with $\alpha$-hydrogens.$(B)$ $(CH_3)_2CHCH_2NO_2$ is a $1^o$ nitro compound with $\alpha$-hydrogens.$(C)$ $(CH_3)_3CNO_2$ is a $3^o$ nitro compound with no $\alpha$-hydrogen atoms.$(D)$ $CH_3C(=O)CH(CH_3)NO_2$ is a $2^o$ nitro compound with an $\alpha$-hydrogen.Thus,$(CH_3)_3CNO_2$ does not react with nitrous acid.
