What is the most suitable condition for the ammonolysis of an alkyl halide?(a) 273K, open tube(b) 273K, sealed tube(c) 373K, open tube(d) 373K, sealed tubeThe question was posed to me during an interview.The query is from Preparation of Amines in division Amines of Chemistry – Class 12

Answer»

Right choice is (d) 373K, sealed tube

The best I can EXPLAIN: The cleavage of the carbon-halogen BOND (of the alkyl halide) by a nucleophile takes place under HIGH pressure and temperature. Thus, the ammonolysis is CARRIED out in a sealed tube at about 100°C.
