The correct Answer is:
To prepare a secondary amine from the given set of reactants, we need to analyze each option carefully. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Reactants**: We have four reactants to consider. We need to determine which one can lead to the formation of a secondary amine. 2. **Examine the First Option (RBr + NH3)**: - When RBr (an alkyl bromide) reacts with NH3 (ammonia), it will undergo nucleophilic substitution. - The product will be RNH2 (a primary amine). - **Conclusion**: This option yields a primary amine, not a secondary amine. 3. **Examine the Second Option (RBr + NaCN)**: - Here, RBr reacts with NaCN (sodium cyanide). - This reaction will produce RCN (nitrile), which upon hydrolysis and reduction (H2/Pt) will yield RCH2NH2 (a primary amine). - **Conclusion**: This option also yields a primary amine. 4. **Examine the Third Option (RNH2 + RCHO)**: - In this case, RNH2 (a primary amine) reacts with RCHO (an aldehyde). - The reaction forms an imine (RNH=CR) initially. - When this imine is reduced (using H2 in the presence of platinum), it yields RNH(CH3)R (a secondary amine). - **Conclusion**: This option yields a secondary amine. 5. **Examine the Fourth Option**: - Without specific details on the fourth option, we cannot analyze it further. However, based on the previous analysis, we have already identified a suitable option. ### Final Answer: The most appropriate reactant for preparing a secondary amine is the third option: **RNH2 + RCHO**. ---
