Question

Which of the following reactions will not give a primary amine?

Options

• \[\ce{CH3CONH2 ->[Br2/KOH]}\]

• \[\ce{CH3CN ->[LiAlH4]}\]

• \[\ce{CH3NC ->[LiAlH4]}\]

• \[\ce{CH3CONH2 ->[LiAlH4]}\]

Answer 1

\[\ce{CH3NC ->[LiAlH4]}\]

Explanation:

When CH₃NC (methyl isocyanide) is reduced with LiAlH₄, it produces secondary amine.
