The conversion of propan- 1 -ol to n-butylamine involves the sequential addition of reagents. The correct sequential order of reagents is
Options
- A(i) SOCl 2 (ii) KCN (iii) H 2 / Ni , Na Hg / C 2 H 5 OH
- B(i) HCl (ii) H 2 / Ni , Na Hg / C 2 H 5 OH
- C(i) SOCl 2 (ii) KCN (iii) CH 3 NH 2
- D(i) HCl (ii) CH 3 NH 2
Correct answer
A. (i) SOCl 2 (ii) KCN (iii) H 2 / Ni , Na Hg / C 2 H 5 OH
Step-by-step solution
Propyl alcohol undergo nucleophilic substitution reaction with thionyl chloride to give propyl chloride. Propyl chloride give butane nitrile on reaction with potasium cyanide. Butane nitrile on reduction give butyl amine.
