Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which reaction is used to prepare amines from alkyl halides? (2020) 2020
  • Step 1: Identify the alkyl halide, which is a compound containing a carbon chain and a halogen (like Cl, Br, or I).
  • Step 2: Choose an amine, which is a compound that contains a nitrogen atom bonded to hydrogen or carbon.
  • Step 3: Understand that a nucleophilic substitution reaction occurs when the amine acts as a nucleophile, meaning it donates a pair of electrons.
  • Step 4: The nucleophile (amine) attacks the carbon atom of the alkyl halide, which is bonded to the halogen.
  • Step 5: The halogen leaves as a halide ion (like Cl-, Br-, or I-), and the amine group replaces it.
  • Step 6: The result is the formation of an amine from the alkyl halide.
