Question

Which one of the following will not react with the grignard reagent $\left(C_6{H}_{5}MgBr\right)?$

• A. $C_2{H}_{5}N{H}_2$
• B.
• C.
• D.

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Amines (except tertiary amine) react with Grignard's reagent to form hydrocarbons. Tertiary amine does not contain any acidic hydrogen. So, it can't react with Grignard's reagent. Hence, the correct answer is option (c) as it does not contain any acidic hydrogen.
