● Explaination -
- Secondary amines on reaction with nitrous acid gives nitrosamine.
- Diethyl amine reacts with aq. nitrous acid to produce N-nitro diethylamine which is an insoluble oil.
CH3CH2-NH-CH2CH3 + HNO2 ---> CH3CH2-N(NO)-CH2CH3 + H20

● Extra information -
On reaction with aqueous nitrous acid
- Primary amines liberate nitrogen gas
- Secondary amines form N-nitrosamines
- Tertiary amines forms ammonium salt.
