Question

Give the structures of A, B and C in the given reaction.

Answer 1

The CH3COOH on the reaction with NH3 will give us A compound that will be Ethanamide – CH3CONH2.

This is further processed with NaOBr which will give us the C compound CH3NH2 that is the B compound.

Then this B compound will react with NaNO2/HCl that will give us the C compound as Methanol which is CH3OH.
