CUET Preparation Today
Case: Read the following passage and answer accordingly Amines are prepared mainly by the reduction of nitro compounds. Alkyl or benzyl halide on reaction with an ethanolic solution of ammonia undergoes nucleophilic substitution reaction in which the halogen atom is replaced by an amino group. Amines are prepared from Phthalimide. Treating an amide with bromine in an aqueous or ethanolic solution of sodium hydroxide result in amines. |
| What is the product when excess of ethyl iodide is treated with ammonia? |
Diethylamine Tetrathylammonium iodide Triethylamine None of these. |
| Tetrathylammonium iodide |
| The product formed would be quaternary salt of ammonia. From the above reaction, we can see that when ethyl iodide in excess is made to react with ammonia, the product formed would be tetraethylammonium iodide. |
