Q. Choose the amide which on reduction with $ LiAl{{H}_{4}} $ yields a secondary amine

KEAMKEAM 2009Amines

Solution:

Secondary amides such as N-methylethanamide on reduction with $ LiAl{{H}_{4}} $ give secondary amines.
$ \underset{N\text{ }-methylethanamide}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}CONHC{{H}_{3}}}}\,+[H]\xrightarrow{LiAl{{H}_{4}}} $ $ \underset{2{}^\circ \text{ }amine}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}NHC{{H}_{3}}}}\,+{{H}_{2}}O $
