Question

Which of the following compound can be produced if 1 $-$ propane amine is treated with $NaN{O}_2$ and HCl :

• A. Propane $-$ 1 $-$ ol
• B. Propane $-$ 2 $-$ ol
• C. 2 $-$ Chloropropane
• D. 2 $-$ Propaneamine

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (C)

The correct options are
A Propane $-$ 1 $-$ ol
B Propane $-$ 2 $-$ ol
C 2 $-$ Chloropropane

When, 1-propanamine is treated with $NaN{O}_2$ and HCl, 2-Propanamine cannot be produced. This is because there is no mechanism by which the amino group can be shifted from first carbon atom to second carbon atom.
