Q. An optically active compound with molecular formula $C _{6} H _{11} N$ dissolves in dilute aqueous $HCl\, \&$ releases $N _{2}$ on treatment with $HNO _{2} .$ The compound $C _{6} H _{11} N$ on exhaustive methylation gives $Y .$ The compound $Y$ after Hoffmann elimination gives which of the following?

Amines

Solution:

Initial compound in question must be a primary amine $\because$ it reacts with $HCl\, \&$ releases $N _{2}$ with $HNO _{2}$ Since it is optically active, it must be
