acid to alcohol
alcohol to acid
amide to amine
amine to amide
An alkyl halide reacts with alcoholic ammonia in a sealed tube, the product formed will be
a primary amine
a secondary amine
a tertiary amine
a mixture of all the three
Arrange the following in the increasing order of their basic strengths CH3NH2, (CH3)2NH, (CH3)N, NH3
NH3 < (CH3)N < (CH3)2NH < CH3NH2
NH3 < (CH3)N < CH3NH2 < (CH3)2NH
(CH3)N < NH3 < CH3NH2 < (CH3)2NH
CH3NH2 < (CH3)2NH < (CH3)N < NH3
B.
NH3 < (CH3)N < CH3NH2 < (CH3)2NH
Aliphatic amines are more basic than NH3 due to +I effect of alkyl groups. In aqueous medium tertiary amine is less basic than secondary amine because the cation formed by protonation of tertiary amine is less solvated as compared to the cation formed by protonation of secondary amine. Hence, the increasing order of their basic strength is as:
NH3 < (CH3)3N < CH3NH2 < (NH3)2NH
The correct sequence of reactions to convert p-nitrophenol into quinol involves

Which one of the following forms propane nitrile as the major product?

Propyl bromide + alcoholic KCN
Propyl bromide + alcoholic AgCN
Ethyl bromide + alcoholic AgCN
Benzylamine is a stronger base than aniline because
the lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom in aniline is delocalised
the lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom in aniline is not involved in resonance
benzylamine has a higher molecular mass than aniline
the lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom in benzylamine is delocalised
