Solution
The correct option is DCH4 Amine contains acidic hydrogen and grignard reagent acts as strong base.
Grignard reagent being basic in nature will accept H+ from NH3 and forms CH4 and H2NMgBr
General reaction: RMgX+NH3Dry Ether−−−−−−→RH+MgX(NH2)
Mechanism:
For the given reaction: CH3MgBr+NH3Dry ether−−−−−→CH4+H2NMgBr(Grignard reagent)
Hence correct option is d.
