Reaction of Compounds with Nitrous Acid (HNO2)
- Nitrous acid (HNO2) is commonly used in organic chemistry for the diazotization of amines and the formation of diazonium salts.
- However, its reactivity depends on the type of functional group present in the compound.
EXPLANATION:
- CH3CONH2 (Acetamide): Amides generally do not react with nitrous acid.
- (CH3)3C-NO2 (Tert-butyl nitrite): Nitro compounds do not react with nitrous acid.
- (CH3CH2)2NH (Diethylamine): Secondary amines react with nitrous acid to form N-nitrosamines.
- CH3CH2NH2 (Ethylamine): Primary amines react with nitrous acid to form diazonium salts.
- From the above, it is clear that tert-butyl nitrite (Option 2) cannot react with nitrous acid.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 2.
