JEE Main 2026 — 6 April, Morning Shift — Question 62
Match the List-I with List-II
| List-I Amino acid | List-II Positive reaction/Test for functional group present in side chain of amino acid |
|---|---|
| A. Glutamine | I. Hinsberg's test |
| B. Lysine | II. Neutral test |
| C. Tyrosine | III. Ceric ammonium nitrate test |
| D. Serine | IV. Hoffman bromamide degradation |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
- Option A:
A-IV, B-II, C-I, D-III
- Option B:Correct
A-IV, B-I, C-II, D-III
- Option C:
A-III, B-II, C-I, D-IV
- Option D:
A-IV, B-I, C-III, D-II
Answer: B
Step-by-step solution
Glutamine
has amide functional group inside chain. So it gives Hoffmann bromamide reaction. Lysine
has amine group. So it gives + ve Hinsberg test. Tyrosine
has phenolic OH . So it gives +ve test with neutral .
Serine has alcohlic -OH group. So it gives +ve test with cerric ammonium nitrate.
