CH3MgI will give methane with (A) C2H5OH (B) CH3–CH2–NH2(C) both of these (A and B) (D) None of these

Answer»

Correct option (C) both of these (A and B)   

Explanation:

Grignard’s reagent reacts with primary or secondary amines to give alkanes but fail to react with tertiary amines due to lack of hydrogen on nitrogen.

R-MgX + R-NH₂ → R-H + Mg(NHR)

The reaction between ethanol and Grignard is shown below:

CH3CH2OH + R’MgX → CH3CH2O-(MgX)+ + R’-H
