    Leibermanns nitroso reaction may be used as a test for:

    A)  \[{{1}^{o}}\]amine                        

    B) \[{{2}^{o}}\]amine

    C)  \[{{3}^{o}}\]amine                        

    D)  quaternary amine

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    Leibermanns nitroso reaction is used for the test of secondary amine. Secondary amines on reaction with nitrous acid to give yellow oily nitrosoamines. The yellow oily nitrosoamine gives a green solution when warmed with phenol and cone. \[{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\].On dilution with water, the colour changes to red and further, changes to blue or violet with alkali.  The overall  reaction is called Leibermanns nitroso reaction. \[\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  secondary \\  \,\,\,amine \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{{{R}_{2}}NH}}\,+HN{{O}_{2}}\xrightarrow{{}}\underset{nitrosoamine}{\mathop{{{R}_{2}}N-N=O}}\,+{{H}_{2}}O\]
