Question

Illustrate the following reactions giving suitable example in each case 

Ammonolysis

Solution

Ammonolysis: When an alkyl or benzyl halide is allowed to react with an ethanolic solution of ammonia, it undergoes a nucleophilic substitution reaction in which the halogen atom is replaced by an amino (−NH2) group. This process of cleavage of the carbon–halogen bond is known as ammonolysis.

For example, the ammonolysis of chloroethane yields a substituted ammonium salt.

\[{C_2 H_5 Cl}_{Chloroethane} + {{NH}_3}_{Ammonia} \to^{} {C_2 H_5 N^+ H_3 {Cl}^-}_{Substituted ammonium salt}\]
