Problems and exercisesReactivity
1. Complete the reactions
- CH3CH2NH2 + CH3COCl (with pyridine)
- Cyclohexanone + CH3NH2 (acid catalyst)
- (CH3)2NH + NaNO2/HCl
- CH3CH2CH2N(CH3)3+ HO−, heat
2. Amide versus amine
Why is acetamide not basic, while ethylamine is?
3. Tell the amines apart
How would you distinguish a primary, a secondary and a tertiary aliphatic amine with nitrous acid?
