Question

convert Ch3Ch2Ch2Ch2CN to Ch3Ch2Ch2Ch2Nh2

Answer 1

Explanation:

Conversion :-

CH3-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-C≡N to CH3-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-NH2

When we treat hexanenitrile with LiAlH4 then it forms hexane amine.

Chemical equation :-

CH3-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-C≡N → CH3-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-NH2

Here, LiAlH4 is used as catalyst.

Additional information :-

Colour and odour :-

• Pure amine are colourless but develops colour on keeping in air or on storage due to atmospheric oxidation.

Solubility :-

• Lower aliphatic amine can form hydrogen bonds with water molecules and hence are soluble in water.

Boiling point :-

• Amine are Polar and hence form intermolecular H-bonds and therefore, they have higher boiling point.
