Question 39

Given below are two statements: Statement (I): Aminobenzene and aniline are same organic compounds. Statement (II): Aminobenzene and aniline are different organic compounds. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

We need to determine whether aminobenzene and aniline are the same compound.

What is aniline?

Aniline is an aromatic amine with the molecular formula $$C_6H_5NH_2$$. It consists of a benzene ring ($$C_6H_5-$$) directly bonded to an amino group ($$-NH_2$$).

What is aminobenzene?

The name "aminobenzene" literally means a benzene ring with an amino ($$-NH_2$$) group attached. Breaking down the name: "amino" = $$-NH_2$$ group, "benzene" = $$C_6H_6$$ ring. The structure is $$C_6H_5NH_2$$.

Comparison:

Both names refer to the same compound with structure $$C_6H_5NH_2$$:

- "Aniline" is the common (trivial) name.

- "Aminobenzene" is the substitutive IUPAC-style name (also called benzenamine in strict IUPAC nomenclature).

Therefore, Statement I is correct (they are the same compound) and Statement II is incorrect (they are NOT different compounds).

The correct answer is Option B: Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect.
