The reaction shown below gives ________(a) N,N-dimethylmethanamide(b) N,N-dimethylethanaminde(c) N-methylethanamide(d) no reactionThis question was addressed to me by my college director while I was bunking the class.The origin of the question is Amines Chemical Reactions topic in section Amines of Chemistry – Class 12

Answer»

Right option is (d) no REACTION

For explanation I would say: The amine that is treated with CH3COCl is a tertiary amine (N,N-dimethylmethanamine). It does not undergo reaction with acetyl CHLORIDE as it does not have a replaceable hydrogen atom. Therefore, for the acylation of an amine, a H atom on nitrogen is required along with the LONE PAIR of electrons.
