Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The mechanism for the formation of the by-product obtained in the reaction RCNH2/catalystRCH2NH2+(RCH2)2NH is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The chemical reaction in which hydrogen molecule is used in the presence of nickel as a catalyst to reduce an organic compound is known as hydrogenation reaction. Hydrogenation is basically used to add the pair of hydrogen atoms to an alkene.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The reason as to why ammonia added to the reaction mixture prevents the formation of by-product is to be stated.

Given that C6H11COOH has a pKa = 4.8 and C6H11N+H3 has a pKa = 10.7, (a) What pH would you make the water layer to cause the carboxylic acid to dissolve in the water layer and the amine to dissolve in the ether layer? (b) What pH would you make the water layer to cause the carboxylic acid to dissolve in the ether layer and the amine to dissolve in the water layer?
Using the data in Appendix C, determine which of the following bases is strong enough to deprotonate acetonitrile (CH3CN), so that equilibrium favors the products: (a) NaH; (b) Na2CO3; (c) NaOH; (d) NaNH2; (e) NaHCO3.
Because amines are basic, they can often accept a proton. Draw the protonated structure of n-propylamine.
