Q. Methylamine reacts with nitrous acid to form

Chhattisgarh PMTChhattisgarh PMT 2010

Solution:

Nitrous acid converts $-N H_{2}$ group of $1^{\circ}$ aliphatic amines into $-O H$.
Thus, $CH _{3} NH _{2}+ HNO _{2} \rightarrow \underset{\text { methanol }}{ CH _{3} OH }+ N _{2} \uparrow+ H _{2} O$
