Methyl alcohol to ethylamine |
|
Answer» Answer: METHYL amine can be CONVERTED to ETHYL amine by first treating it with nitric acid and thereafter reducing it by NA in the presence of alcohol. Explanation At a temperature of 0 to 5 degree celsius,ethyl amine reacts with a Nitrous acid(obtained from NaNO2solution and dilute HCl),to give ethyl diazonium CHLORIDE. This can be given a little heat in a aqueous medium to give ethanol.
