13012 15 The azo dye magneson I is also called azo violet as it is violet in colour. It is prepared from 4-nitrophenylamine and resorcinol. NH2 NO2 OH OH 4-nitrophenylamine resorcinol (a) In this preparation, 4-nitrophenylamine is converted into its diazonium ion and reacted with resorcinol. (i) State the reagents and conditions required for the formation of the diazonium ion from 4-nitrophenylamine. [3] (ii) Suggest the IUPAC name for resorcinol. [2] 13012 (iii) Suggest the structure of the azo dye magneson I formed when the diazonium ion of 4-nitrophenylamine reacts with resorcinol. [2] (iv) Explain why magneson I is coloured. [3] [Turn over 13012 (b) 4-nitrophenylamine cannot be prepared by nitration of phenylamine because the amino group is oxidised by nitric acid. The amino group is therefore protected by converting it to an amide group before the nitration is carried out. The amide group is then hydrolysed. The following diagram shows the steps in the synthesis N-phenylethanamide Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 phenylamine NH2 N – C – CH3 A NO2 4-nitrophenylamine NH2 NO2 H O N – C – CH3 H O (i) Name a reagent ­which could be used to carry out Step 1. [1] (ii) Write the molecular formula for A. [1] 13012 [Turn over (iii) 4-nitrophenylamine is a solid at room temperature. Describe, giving experimental details, how the 4-nitrophenylamine obtained in Step 3 can be purified. State how the purity of the solid could be confirmed. In this question you will be assessed on using your written communication skills including the use of specialist scientific terms. [6] 13012 (c) 4-nitrophenylamine may be reduced to 1,4-diaminobenzene using tin in concentrated hydrochloric acid. The mixture is heated under reflux for 30 minutes. Sodium hydroxide solution is then added. (i) Write an equation, using [H] to represent the reducing agent, for the reduction of 4-nitrophenylamine to 1,4-diaminobenzene. [2] (ii) Explain why sodium hydroxide is added.
