Question

Write reaction of nitrous acid with alkyl amine.

Answer 1

Answer:

we will get a nitro a compound

Explanation:

R-NH2 + HNO2 we will get R-NO2 + NH3.

Answer 2

Nitrous Acid with Alkyl Amine:

Alkyls are group of hydrogen and carbon. Nitrous acid is a bronsted acid.  

According to the reaction between the nitrous acid and amine, the amine is divided into

• Primary amine
• Secondary amine
• Tertiary amine

Nitrous acid and primary amine forms evolution of nitrogen gas from a clear solution.

Nitrous acid and secondary amine forms insoluble oil.

Nitrous acid and tertiary amine forms clear solution.

The general equation is given below:

$\bold{RNH_3+HNO_3\rightarrow ROH+N_2+H_2O}$

The reaction between propylamine and nitrous acid is given below:

$\bold{CH_{3}CH_{2}CH_{2}NH_{2} + HNO_{2} \rightarrow CH_{3}CH_{2}CH_{2}OH + H_{2}O + N_{2}}$
