JEE Main 2024 — Haloalkanes and Haloarenes Question with Solution

Substituted ammonium salt is formed when chloroalkane reacted with excess of ${\mathrm{NH}}_3$, which on reaction with $\mathrm{NaOH}$ gives $1,4-\mathrm{diaminobutane}$.

The carbon - halogen bond in alkyl halides can be easily cleaved by a nucleophile. Hence, an alkyl halide on reaction with an ethanolic solution of ammonia undergoes a nucleophilic substitution reaction in which the halogen atom is replaced by an amino group. This process of cleavage of the $\mathrm{C}–\mathrm{X}$ bond by ammonia molecule is known as ammonolysis.  Substituted ammonium salt on reaction with sodium hydroxide gives 1,4-diaminobutane as shown below,

Hence, the answer is option B.
