Chapter 6: Problem 41

Which of the following reductions does not give an amine?

Short Answer

Expert verified
A) Reduction of a carbonyl group B) Reduction of a nitro group C) Reduction of a nitrile group D) Reduction of an alkene Please explain your choice briefly.

Step by step solution

01

Identify the functional groups involved in each reduction

First, examine each reduction reaction given and note down the functional groups that are transformed in the reduction. Are there any carbonyl groups, nitro groups, nitriles, or other relevant functional groups involved in the reaction?
02

Analyze the reduction reactions

For each reduction reaction, study the reagents and conditions involved. This will help you understand what types of reactions are taking place and whether they involve the addition of hydrogen or not.
03

Determine the products of each reduction reaction

Based on your understanding of the reduction reactions from Step 2, predict the products formed after each reduction. In particular, look for reactions that produce amines as their final product.
04

Identify the reaction that does not yield an amine

Now compare the products of all the given reductions. Identify which reaction does not result in the formation of an amine product. This is the reduction that does not give an amine. Remember to consider each specific reduction given in the exercise when solving the problem, as the steps provided above are a general guideline for analyzing a set of reduction reactions.

Directions: This section contains 3 paragraphs. Based upon the paragraph, 3 multiple choice questions have to be answered. Each question has 4 choices (a), (b), (c) and (d), out of which ONLY ONE is correct. Passage I Amines have the formula \(\mathrm{RNH}_{2}\) and can be prepared by different methods. Some of them are (i) reduction of nitriles (ii) reduction of amides (iii) reduction of azides and (iv) Gabriel phthalimide synthesis. The most important property of amines is their basicity due to the presence of lone pair of electrons on nitrogen. Answer the following questions. The conversion of \(\mathrm{RCH}_{2} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{Br}\) to \(\mathrm{RCH}_{2} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{~N}_{3}\) by \(\mathrm{NaN}_{3}\) is an example of (a) \(\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{N}} 1\) reaction (b) \(\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{N}} 2\) reaction (c) nucleophilic addition reaction (d) electrophilic addition reaction
