Ethylamine is obtained when methyl cyanide is reduced by ‘sodium and ethyl alcohol’.
Explanation:
- Sodium and ethyl alcohol will give free hydrogen ion to the methyl cyanide. Hence the cyanide Bond present in methyl cyanide will get reduced.
- On reduction of the cyanide a primary amine is formed. In this case the compound that will be formed after complete reduction of methyl cyanide is ethyl amine.
- This is the main product that will be formed after the reaction of methyl cyanide with Sodium and ethyl alcohol. This is a reduction type of reaction.
