Question

What are amines? How will you prepare ethyl amine from nitrocthane?​

Answer 1

Answer:

an organic compound derived from ammonia by replacement of one or more hydrogen atoms by organic groups.

Nitroethane reduced to ethylamine by the action of tin and conc. HCl.

CH3CH2NO2+6[H]Sn/conc.HClCH3CH2NH2+2H2OCH3CH2NO2+6[H]Sn/conc.HClCH

Answer 2

Answer:

In organic chemistry, amines are compounds and functional groups that contain a basic nitrogen atom with a lone pair. Amines are formally derivatives of ammonia, wherein one or more hydrogen atoms have been replaced by a substituent such as an alkyl or aryl group .

CH3CH2NO2 + 3H2 = CH3CH2NH2 + 2H2O

Explanation:

We need to convert the Nitro-ethane to Ethly-amine.

We know the formula for Nitro-ethane and Ethly-amine.

Nitro ethane = CH3CH2NO2

Ethyl amine = CH3CH2NH2

The conversion of Nitro-ethane into Ethyl-amine takes place through reduction by hydrogen in the presence of tin and concentrated Hydrochloric acid as a catalyst and byproduct is water.

The reaction is given as

CH3CH2NO2 + 3H2 = CH3CH2NH2 + 2H2O
