Question

how are primery secondary and tertiary nitroalkanes distinguished using hno2​

Answer 1

Primary secondary and tertiary nitroalkanes distinguished using nitrous acid.

Explanation:

Nitrous acid

• It is a weak acid which is mono basic.
• Nitrate salts are formed by the use of diazides which is made from amines.
• The amine is attacked by nucleophilic on nitrite and again protanated by the solvent and water by double elimination.
• Primary amines reacted with nitrous acid which produce clear solution by the evolution of nitrogen gas.
• Secondary amines treated with nitrous acid to form an oil which is insoluble that is N- Nitrosamine.
• Tertiary amine reacted with HNO2 to produce clear solution which is the formation of ammonium salts.
