Question

Methyl bromide into ethylene amine

Answer 1

The reaction has to be carried out in 2 steps:Step 1 : Conversion of Methyl bromide to ethaneThis conversion can be facilitated by wither Na/Dry ether (wurtz reaction) or Zn metal i.e. Frankland reaction​Step 2: Bromination of ethaneEthane when subject to Bromine in presence of light undergoes bromination leading to formation of ethyl bromide.

Answer 2

Answer:

Methyl bromide reacts with KCN to give methyl cyanide. Reduction of methyl cyanide with sodium and alcohol gives ethylamine.
