Question
Assertion: Amimonolysis of alkyl halides involves the reaction between alkyl halides and alcoholic ammonia.
Reason: Ammonolysis of alkyl halides produces secondary amines only.
Options
Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion.
Both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion.
Assertion is true but Reason is false.
Assertion is false but Reason is true.
Solution
Assertion is true but Reason is false.
Explanation:
When an alkyl or benzyl halide combines with an ethanolic solution of ammonia, an amino (-NH2) group replaces the halogen atom via a nucleophilic substitution reaction. Ammonolysis continues until all of the hydrogen in ammonia has been replaced. As a result, a combination of primary, secondary and tertiary amines are produced. Thus, the assertion is correct, but the reasoning is incorrect.
