Q96 / 200 · NEET 2023 (All India) · Chemistry

Which of the following reactions will NOT give primary amine as the product?

  • A
    CH3CONH2→(ii) H3O+(i) LiAlH4Product
  • B
    CH3CONH2→Br2/KOHProduct
  • C
    CH3CN→(ii) H3O+(i) LiAlH4Product
  • Correct answer
    D
    CH3NC→(ii) H3O+(i) LiAlH4Product

Solution

Lithium aluminium hydride is a strong reducing agent. It converts amides, cyanides and isocyanides to amines.

CH3CONH2→(ii) H3O+(i) LiAlH4CH3CH2NH2primary amine

CH3CN→(ii) H3O+(i) LiAlH4CH3CH2NH2Primary amine

CH3NC→(ii) H3O+(i) LiAlH4CH3NHCH3Secondary amine

In Hoffmann bromamide reaction, primary amides converts to primary amines with loss of one carbon.

CH3CONH2→Br2/KOHCH3NH2

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
