Amines: NEET questions with solutions
NEET tests the basicity order of amines in water and in the gas phase, Gabriel and Hoffmann methods, the carbylamine and Hinsberg tests, why aniline gives meta product on nitration, and diazonium salt reactions such as Sandmeyer and coupling. Marks are lost on the aqueous basicity order and on which amine class a test identifies.
