Question

1) Write chemical equation for the following reaction:

A) Reaction of ethanolic NH3 with C2H5Cl.

2) Write chemical equation for the following reaction:

B) Ammonolysis of benzyl chloride and reaction of amine so formed with two moles of CH3Cl.

Solution

A.Reaction of ethanolic NH3 with C2H5Cl

When an alkyl halide reacts with alcoholic ammonia, it produces primary amine. The reaction doesn't stop here, and primary amine further reacts and produces secondary amine. Then after that secondary amine reacts further and produces tertiary amine which reacts further to produce quaternary ammonium salt.

All involved reactions shown below:


B Reaction of benzyl chloride with ammonia

When benzyl chloride is reacted with ammonia, benzylamine is formed as a product. In this reaction, ammonia act as a nucleophile which reacts with benzyl chloride to give primary amine in a nucleophilic substitution reaction.

Involved reaction shown below:


Reaction of benzylamine with CH3Cl

When CH3Cl is reacted with benzylamine, N,N− Dimethylphenylmethanamine is formed as a product.

In this reaction benzylamine act as a nucleophile which reacts with CH3Cl to give N,N− Dimethylphenylmethanamine in a nucleophilic substitution reaction.

Involved reaction shown below:
