2 Section A Answer all questions from this section. 1 Phenylamine, C6H5NH2, otherwise known as aniline, is commonly used in the manufacture of industrial chemicals. The family of amines tend to exhibit strong odours. The more volatile the amine, the stronger the odour. Trimethylamine, (CH 3)3N, is the compound responsible for the fishy odour associated with rotting fish. (a) (i) Suggest, with explanation, whether phenylamine or trimethylamine is likely to exhibit a stronger fishy odour. [2] (ii) When phenylamine and trimethylamine are burnt, only phenylamine burns with a smoky flame. Explain the above observation. [1] [1] (iii) The reaction between phenylamine and ethanoyl chloride, CH3COCl, takes place rapidly at room temperature, releasing a gas in the process. Write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction between phenylamine and ethanoyl chloride, and identify the functional group formed in the product. [2] (iv) A laboratory assistant wants to synthesise the product in (iii). However, ethanoyl chloride is unavailable, so he opts to use ethanoic acid in place of ethanoyl chloride. Explain why the desired product is not obtained. [1] (v) State the reagents and conditions needed to produce ethanoyl chloride from ethanoic acid.
