    The reaction, \[RCOOH\xrightarrow{Na{{N}_{3}}/conc.\,\,{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}}\] \[RN{{H}_{2}}+{{N}_{2}}+C{{O}_{2}}\] is known as :

    A)  Curtius reaction

    B)  Lossen reaction

    C)  Schmidt reaction

    D)  Hofmann reaction

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Key Idea: Define all reactions to find correct answer [a] Curtius reaction \[R-\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  O \\  || \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,-{{N}_{3}}\xrightarrow[-{{N}_{2}}]{\Delta }R-N=O\] [b] Lossen reaction \[R-\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  O \\  || \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,-\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  H \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{N}}\,-OH\xrightarrow[Base]{TsCl}R-NCO\] [c] Schmidt reaction \[R-\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  O \\  || \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,-OH\xrightarrow[{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}]{Na{{N}_{3}}}R-N{{H}_{2}}\]                  \[+{{N}_{2}}+C{{O}_{2}}\] [d] Hofmann reaction \[R-\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  O \\  || \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,-N{{H}_{2}}\xrightarrow[-C{{O}_{2}}]{NaOH}RN{{H}_{2}}\] \[\therefore \] [c] is correct answer.
