Question

methyl alcohol to ethylamine​

Answer 1

Answer:

Methyl amine can be converted to ethyl amine by first treating it with nitric acid and thereafter reducing it by Na in the presence of alcohol.

Explanation  At a temperature of 0 to 5 degree celsius,ethyl amine reacts with a Nitrous acid(obtained from NaNO2solution and dilute HCl),to give ethyl diazonium chloride. This can be given a little heat in a aqueous medium to give ethanol.
