Question

A compound D is yielded after a set of reaction upon propionic acid
$\text{CH}_{3} \text{CH}_{2} \text{COOH} \overset{\text{SOCl}_{2}}{ \rightarrow } \text{B} \overset{\text{NH}_{3}}{ \rightarrow } \text{C} \rightarrow _{\text{Br}_{2}}^{\text{KOH}} \text{D}$
Determine the product D

• A. CH₃CH₂NH₂
• B. CH₃CH₂CH₂NH₂
• C. CH₃CH₂CONH₂
• D. CH₃CH₂NHCH₃

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

$\text{CH}_{3} \text{CH}_{2} \text{COOH} \overset{\text{SOCl}_{2}}{→} \text{CH}_{3} \text{CH}_{2} \text{COCl} \overset{\text{NH}_{3}}{→} \text{CH}_{3} \text{CH}_{2} \text{CONH}_{2} →_{\text{Br}_{2}}^{\text{KOH}} \text{CH}_{3} \text{CH}_{2} \text{NH}_{2}$
