JEE Main 5 April 2026, Shift 1, Chemistry Q68

Question 68 of 75 in this shift, Chemistry question 18 of 25, Section A.

Identify the incorrect statements. A. [figure: benzylamine, C6H5CH2NH2\mathrm{C_6H_5CH_2NH_2}] is a stronger base than [figure: aniline, C6H5NH2\mathrm{C_6H_5NH_2}] B. [figure: 4-methoxyaniline, H3CO−C6H4−NH2\mathrm{H_3CO-C_6H_4-NH_2} (para)] can be synthesized by Gabriel phthalimide synthesis. C. [figure: C6H5CH2C(=O)NH2\mathrm{C_6H_5CH_2C(=O)NH_2}] →Br2, NaOH\xrightarrow{\mathrm{Br_2,\ NaOH}} primary aromatic amine D. [figure: 4-nitroaniline, O2N−C6H4−NH2\mathrm{O_2N-C_6H_4-NH_2} (para)] →(i) NaNO2,HCl,0∘C; (ii) Δ\xrightarrow{\text{(i) } \mathrm{NaNO_2, HCl, 0^\circ C};\ \text{(ii) } \Delta} product will dissolve in NaOH Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
