Q. An amide, $C _{3} H _{7} NO$ on hydrolysis gives an amine $(B) $ and an acid $(C). B $ gives carbylamine reaction whereas $C$ reduces Tollen's reagent. $ 'A' $ is:

Amines

Solution:

As an acid $(C)$ reduces Tollen’s reagent, $(C)$ is a formic acid. B gives carbylamine reaction. So, $B $ is a primary amine with two carbon atoms. $B$ is ethyl amine. Therefore compound A has a structure
