Consider the reaction, R CHO + NH ₂ NH ₂ RCH = N - NH ₂ What sort of reaction is it?
Options
- AElectrophilic addition elimination reaction
- BFree radical addition elimination reaction
- CElectrophilic substitution elimination reaction
- DNucleophilic addition elimination reaction
Correct answer
D. Nucleophilic addition elimination reaction
Step-by-step solution
In this reaction acts as nucleophilic species which adds on carbon. Therefore this is the case of nucleophilic addition reaction. Simultaneously, a mole of H ₂ O also eliminated. Therefore, overall this reaction is a nucleophilic addition elimination reaction.
