SUMMARY

The discussion centers on Libermann's Nitroso test for amines, specifically addressing the confusion regarding the correct answers for the test results. Participants debate whether the correct answers should include only primary (1°) and secondary (2°) amines, with the textbook indicating that answers A, B, and C are correct. The mechanism of the reaction is sought, particularly focusing on why answer B is considered incorrect by some participants despite their belief that it should be included.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of amine classifications (primary, secondary, tertiary)
  • Familiarity with organic reaction mechanisms
  • Knowledge of the Libermann's Nitroso test
  • Basic principles of chemical testing and reactivity
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the detailed mechanism of the Libermann's Nitroso test for amines
  • Study the reactivity of primary and secondary amines in chemical tests
  • Examine common misconceptions in organic chemistry regarding amine classifications
  • Explore additional tests for amines and their specific reactions
USEFUL FOR

Chemistry students, educators, and professionals involved in organic chemistry, particularly those focusing on amine reactions and testing methodologies.

Homework Statement
Which of the following amine(s) will show positive Libermann's Nitroso test ?
(It is multiple choice question)
(Plz see the Options in the image I have attached)
Relevant Equations
I don't know any
My answer is coming a & c but given ans is a, b & c in my textbook.
Plz can someone give mechanism for this reaction?
Because my teacher only told that 2° and 1° Amines give the test.
So answer should be a & c na but it's wrong :(
