The correct Answer is:
To solve the given problem step by step, we will analyze the reactions involving methyl amine (CH₃NH₂) and the reagents provided. ### Step 1: Reaction of Methyl Amine with Excess Methyl Chloride - **Reactants:** CH₃NH₂ (methyl amine) + CH₃Cl (methyl chloride) - **Process:** Methyl amine acts as a nucleophile and attacks the methyl chloride. The chlorine atom (Cl) leaves, forming HCl as a byproduct. - **First Reaction:** - CH₃NH₂ + CH₃Cl → CH₃NH(CH₃) + HCl - **Second Reaction (due to excess CH₃Cl):** - CH₃NH(CH₃) + CH₃Cl → (CH₃)₂N(CH₃) + HCl - **Final Product after this step (X):** (CH₃)₃N (trimethylamine) + 2 HCl ### Step 2: Reaction of Trimethylamine with Moist Silver Oxide - **Reactants:** (CH₃)₃N + Ag₂O (moist) - **Process:** The moist silver oxide reacts with the chloride ions (Cl⁻) produced in the previous step to form AgCl and water. The quaternary ammonium salt (trimethylamine) can undergo hydrolysis. - **Reaction:** - (CH₃)₃N + Cl⁻ + Ag₂O → (CH₃)₃N + AgCl + H₂O - **Final Product after this step (Y):** (CH₃)₃N (still trimethylamine, but now in a solution with AgCl) ### Step 3: Heating the Product Y - **Reactants:** (CH₃)₃N - **Process:** When heated, trimethylamine can undergo a reaction to form a product through elimination or rearrangement. - **Reaction:** - (CH₃)₃N → (CH₃)₃C (tert-butylamine) + NH₃ (ammonia) - **Final Product after this step (Z):** (CH₃)₃C (tert-butylamine) ### Conclusion The final product (Z) after all the reactions is **tert-butylamine (C₄H₉N)**.
