Q.2 (iv) Complete the following reaction
CH3–C(=O)–NH2 + 4[H] —(Na/C2H5OH or LiAlH4, ether / H3O+)→ ? + H2O
1 answer
Best answer
Answer: CH3–CH2–NH2 (ethanamine)
CH3CONH2 + 4[H] → CH3CH2NH2 + H2O. Reduction converts the >C=O of the amide into –CH2–, giving a primary amine with the same number of carbon atoms.
