Question

Which of the following compounds is not prepared by action of a/c.NH3 on alkyl halide

Answer 1

Answer:

This page looks at the reaction between halogenoalkanes (haloalkanes or alkyl halides) and ammonia. The halogenoalkane is heated with a concentrated solution of ammonia in ethanol. The reaction is carried out in a sealed tube. You couldn't heat this mixture under reflux, because the ammonia would simply escape up the condenser as a gas. We'll talk about the reaction using 1-bromoethane as a typical primary halogenoalkane. There is no difference in the details of the reaction if you chose a secondary or tertiary halogenoalkane instead. The equations would just look more complicated than they already are! You get a series of amines formed together with their salts. The reactions happen sequentially
