Question

Compound A[C4H8N2] on hydrolysis in acidic medium gave B ([C4H9O2N]). A on reduction with LiAlH4 gave C ([C4H12N2]).'B' on treatment with NaHCO3 solution liberates CO2. 'B' on heating forms D ([C4H7ON]). 'D' on reduction with LiAlH4 forms secondary amine E ([C4H9N]). Number of single bonds in final compound E are:

Solution

'A' undergoes hydrolysis in acid medium to give B. Since one nitrogen is lost and OOH is added in this reaction CN group must be present in 'A'.
AC4H8N2LiAlH4−−−4(H)CC4H12N2

BC4H9O2NH2O−−−heatDC4H7ON

DC4H7ONLiAlH4−−−4HEC4H9N+H2O
secondary amine

This also indicates the presence of CN group in 'A'.
'B' must be a carboxylic acid as it liberates CO2 from NaHCO3 solution.
Thus, the second nitrogen is in the form of NH2 and D will be a cyclic amide.
[γ-amino acid forms cyclic amide on heating].

Thus A must be C|H2NH2CH2CH2CN
The reactions are
H2NCH2CH2CH2CN[A]H3O=−−H2NCH2CH2CH2COOH[B]
Here, it can be seen that final compound E contains, 14 single bonds
