Question

For the following reaction sequence,


X and Y, respectively, are

The correct answer is
$\{HB(NH)\}$$_3$ and $\{H(OH)B(NH_2)\}$$_3$

To solve this question, we need to understand the reaction sequence given and identify the compounds X and Y.

The reaction sequence is as follows:

  1. The starting materials are \(3 \text{ NH}_4\text{Cl}\) and \(3 \text{ BCl}_3\).
  2. These react under heat and in the presence of \(\text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{Cl}\) to form intermediate 'X'.
  3. Upon further treatment with \(\text{LiBH}_4\), a reaction forms a cyclic borazine compound typically represented as \(\{HB(NH)\}_3\).
  4. Finally, compound 'X' reacts with \(3 \text{ H}_2\text{O}\) at room temperature to give compound 'Y'.

Considering the reaction of borazine derivatives with water, it can undergo hydrolysis to form \(\{H(OH)B(NH_2)\}_3\).

Therefore, the correct answers for X and Y, respectively, are \(\{HB(NH)\}_3\) and \(\{H(OH)B(NH_2)\}_3\).

Correct Option: \(\{HB(NH)\}_3\text{ and }\{H(OH)B(NH_2)\}_3\)

Explanation: The multi-step reaction first converts ammonium chloride and boron trichloride into a cyclic compound 'X' under specific conditions. This compound then undergoes hydrolysis to form the 'Y' product, matching the given chemical formulas.
