Conversion of Acetone to Acetamide

Explanation

To convert acetone (propanone) to acetamide, we will follow a series of chemical reactions. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of the process:

### Step 1: Reduction of Acetone to Alcohol
- **Reaction**: Acetone (propanone) is reduced using lithium aluminium hydride (LiAlH4).
- **Product**: The product of this reaction is isopropyl alcohol (propan-2-ol).

### Step 2: Dehydration of Alcohol to Alkene
- **Reaction**: The isopropyl alcohol undergoes dehydration using concentrated sulfuric acid (H2SO4) as a dehydrating agent.
