Answer 1

For converting 1,4—Dichlorobutane into Hexane 1,6—diamine, plesae follow given below reaction

Reaction occur between 1,4 Dichlorobutane and Sodium Chloride in the presence of ethanolic NaCN, the reaction is

C4H8Cl2-----2NaCl/2NaCN——-> C2H8CN2

In the next step, preparing the reaction of compound with nitrogen in the presence of hydrogen to give final product Hexane 1,6—diamine

C2H8CN2-----H2/Ni——-> NH2CH2C4H8CH2NH2
