An organic compound `A(C_(3)H_(9)N)` when treated with ntrous acid gave an alcohol and `N_(2)` gas was evolved `(A)` on warming with `CHCI_(3)` and caustic potash gave `( C )` which on reduction gave is isoproymethylamine Predict the structure of `(A)` .

Options

A.
B. `CH_3CH_2-NH-CH_3`
C.
D. `CH_3CH_2CH_2-NH_2`

Answer

A

Explanation

`C_2H_N(A)overset(HNO_2)to`alcohol`+N_2(g)A1^@`amine i.e., `C_3H_9N` is `C_3H_7NH_2`
further since `1^@` aliphatic amine (A) on warming with `CHCl_3` and caustic potash gave compound (C) which on reduction gave isopropylmethylamine, therefore, `1^@` amine (A) must be isopropylamine.
