Ethyl methylamine cannot be resolved under normal conditions because.

A

the nitrogen atom rapidly inverts its configuration leading to a racemic mixture

B

it isomerizes rapidly with the achiral isomer trimethylamine

C

the favoured configuration is not chiral

D

the `C-N` bond is not stable under conditions used for resolution.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts
