Only primary amine is formed as the main product when ammonolysis of an alkyl halide takes place with large excess of ammonia.(a) True(b) FalseI got this question during an interview for a job.This interesting question is from Preparation of Amines topic in portion Amines of Chemistry – Class 12

Answer»

The CORRECT answer is (a) True

Explanation: When NH3 is taken in excess in the reaction mixture, the alkyl halide is more likely to react with an NH3 MOLECULE RATHER than with a molecule of amine which is present in smaller amount. THEREFORE, only primary amine is formed as the main product.
