JEE Main 2026 — 6 April, Morning Shift — Question 62

Match the List-I with List-II

List-I Amino acidList-II Positive reaction/Test for functional group present in side chain of amino acid
A. GlutamineI. Hinsberg's test
B. LysineII. Neutral FeCl3\mathrm{FeCl}_{3} test
C. TyrosineIII. Ceric ammonium nitrate test
D. SerineIV. Hoffman bromamide degradation

Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

  1. Option A:

    A-IV, B-II, C-I, D-III

  2. Option B:

    A-IV, B-I, C-II, D-III

    Correct
  3. Option C:

    A-III, B-II, C-I, D-IV

  4. Option D:

    A-IV, B-I, C-III, D-II

Answer: B

Step-by-step solution

Glutamine

figure

has amide functional group inside chain. So it gives Hoffmann bromamide reaction. Lysine

figure

has 1∘1^{\circ} amine group. So it gives + ve Hinsberg test. Tyrosine

figure

has phenolic OH . So it gives +ve test with neutral FeCl3\mathrm{FeCl}_{3}.

figure

Serine has alcohlic -OH group. So it gives +ve test with cerric ammonium nitrate.
