Answer 2

We can convert chloroethane to propan-1-amine by first using cyanide and further doing nucleophilic substitution. At last the reduction will give us the required product.

Chloroethane is represented as $CH_{3}CH_{2}Cl$

Propan-1-amine is represented as $CH_{3} CH_{2} CH_{2} NH_{2}$

• Reaction with potassium cyanide,

$CH_{3} CH_{2} Cl+KCN$  →  $CH_{3} CH_{2} CN$

• Let us now reduce ethyl cyanide by reacting it with lithium aluminum hydride which is a good reducing agent.

$CH_{3} CH_{2} CN+LiAlH_{4}$  →  $CH_{3} CH_{2} CH_{2} NH_{2}$

This is our required product.
