MCQ 11 Mark
In order to prepare a $1^\circ$ amine from an alkyl halide with simultaneous addition of one $\ce{CH_2}$ group in the carbon chain, the reagent used as source of nitrogen is$..........$
- ASodium amide, $\ce{NaNH_2}$
- ✓Sodium azide, $\ce{NaN_3}$
- CPotassium phthalimide, $\ce{C_6H_4(CO)_2 N^{-} K ^{+}}$
- DEthanolic $\ce{NaCN}$
Answer
View full question & answer→Correct option: B.
Sodium azide, $\ce{NaN_3}$
$ \text{KCN}$ is used to increase the number of carbon atoms.
$\ce{RX + NaCN} \rightarrow \ce{RCN + KX}$
$\ce{R-CN + 4 H} \xrightarrow{H_2 / \text { Raney } N i} \ce{RCH_2NH_2}$
$\ce{RX + NaCN} \rightarrow \ce{RCN + KX}$
$\ce{R-CN + 4 H} \xrightarrow{H_2 / \text { Raney } N i} \ce{RCH_2NH_2}$
