The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the reaction of R-NH₂ with excess CH₃COCl, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Reactants The reactants are: - R-NH₂ (a primary amine) - CH₃COCl (acetyl chloride) ### Step 2: Understand the Reaction Mechanism In this reaction, the nitrogen atom in the amine (R-NH₂) has a lone pair of electrons, making it a nucleophile. The carbon atom in acetyl chloride (CH₃COCl) is electrophilic due to the presence of the electronegative chlorine atom, which creates a partial positive charge on the carbon. ### Step 3: Nucleophilic Attack The nucleophilic nitrogen will attack the electrophilic carbon in acetyl chloride. This forms a tetrahedral intermediate where the nitrogen is bonded to the carbon of the acetyl group and the chlorine atom is displaced. ### Step 4: Formation of the Product As the reaction proceeds, the chlorine atom leaves (as Cl⁻), resulting in the formation of an amide. The product formed is R-NH-CO-CH₃ (N-acetyl derivative of the amine). ### Step 5: Consider the Excess Reagent Since acetyl chloride is in excess, it is important to note that the nitrogen atom of the amide (R-NH-CO-CH₃) does not have enough electron density to attack another molecule of acetyl chloride. The electron-withdrawing nature of the carbonyl group (C=O) makes the nitrogen less nucleophilic. ### Final Product The final product (A) of the reaction is: **R-NH-CO-CH₃ (N-acetyl amine)**
