Which of the following is not a likely product of the alkylation of amines with methyl iodide?(a) Primary amine(b) Secondary amine(c) Tertiary amine(d) Quaternary ammonium saltI have been asked this question in an interview for job.My question is taken from Amines Chemical Reactions in division Amines of Chemistry – Class 12

Answer»

The correct OPTION is (a) Primary amine

To explain: Primary and secondary AMINES react with alkyl halide to form tertiary amines by NUCLEOPHILIC substitution. When a primary or secondary amine ACTS as the nucleophile, a secondary or tertiary amine is generated respectively. Finally, the tertiary amine REACTS with the remaining methyl iodide to form quaternary ammonium iodide salt.
