Which of the following methods of preparation of amines will give same number of carbon atoms in the chain of amines as in the reactant?
- ✓Treatment of amide with bromine in an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide
- BHeating alkylhalide with potassium salt of phthalimide followed by hydrolysis
- CReaction of nitrite with LiAlH4
- DReaction of amide with LiAlH4 followed by treatment with water
Answer
View full question & answer→Correct option: A.
Treatment of amide with bromine in an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide
(a) Treatment of amide with bromine in an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide
Explanation: Aliphatic and aryl/alkyl primary amines can be prepared by the reduction of the corresponding nitriles with lithium aluminium hydride LiAIH4.

Heating alkyl halide with primary, secondary, and tertiary amine can be prepared by reduction of LiAlH4 ether followed by treatment with water.

Heating alkyl halide with potassium salt of phthalimide followed by hydrolysis produces primary amine. This process is known as Gabriel's phthalimide reaction. The number of carbon atoms in the chain of amines of the product is the same as a reactant.
