Question

Acetonitrile on reduction with $LiAl{H}_4$ gives:

• A. propanamine
• B. methanamine
• C. ethanamine
• D. none of these

Answer 1

The correct option is C ethanamine

Nitriles on reduction with $LiAl{H}_4$ gives primary amine. Hence, the correct answer is option (c).
$\underset{\text{Acetonitrile}}{C{H}_{3}CN}\underset{}{\overset{LiAl{H}_4}{\to }}\underset{\text{Ethyl amine or Ethanamine}}{C{H}_{3}C{H}_{2}N{H}_2}$
