Explanation:

Answer 2

Reduction of acetamide to obtain aminoethane.

Explanation:

• By the reduction of acetamide due to the action of sodium/absolute alcohol or LiAlH₄ in ether or hydrogen in presence of nickel catalyst.
• The reaction involved is -

        CH₃COCH₃ + 4H + Na+ C₂H₅OH → CH₃CH₂NH₂ + H₂O

• The above reaction take place by the action of LiAlH₄ which is a strong reducing agent.
• In order to obtain amine from amide group, reduction of amide group by a strong reducing agent has to done.
• When LiAlH₄ reacted with an amide group it reduces to its corresponding amine.
• Therefore. ethylamine can be obtained from ethanamide by the action of LiAlH₄.
