Which of the following reactions/tests does not help in the distinction between ethylamine and diethylamine?(a) Carbylamine test(b) Hinsberg’s test(c) Reaction with HNO2(d) Reaction with CH3CH2BrThis question was posed to me in an online interview.My doubt stems from Amines Chemical Reactions in section Amines of Chemistry – Class 12

Answer»

The correct option is (d) REACTION with CH3CH2Br

The explanation: Both ETHYLAMINE and DIETHYLAMINE on reaction with CH3CH2Br eventually gives quaternary ammonium salt. Hence, the alkylation of primary amines cannot be USED as a distinction METHOD.
