It is to be noted that the purpose of adding 3m NaOH dropwise to the layer containing Naphthalene and 4-chlorobenzenaminium chloride is: " to generate 4-chloroaniline" (Option A)
It is to be noted that 4-Chloroaniline with the formula ClC6H4NH2 and is an organochlorine chemical. This pale yellow solid is one of three chloroaniline isomers.
4-Chloroaniline is not made from aniline, which has a high chlorination rate. Instead, it is made by reducing 4-nitro chlorobenzene, which is made via nitration of chlorobenzene.
4-Chloroaniline is a sweet-smelling white or light yellow solid. It is used in the production of dyes, other chemicals, pesticides, and a variety of other industrial items. * 4-Chloroaniline is listed as a hazardous substance since it has been cited by the DOT, DEP, IARC, IRIS, and EPA.
It is also worth noting that 4-Chloroaniline is readily soluble in water (nearly transparent), methanol (almost transparent), and DMSO.
