The correct Answer is:
To solve the reaction between a primary amine (R-NH₂) and acyl chloride (CH₃COCl), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Reactants The reactants in this reaction are: - R-NH₂ (a primary amine) - CH₃COCl (acetyl chloride or acyl chloride) ### Step 2: Understand the Reaction Mechanism The primary amine (R-NH₂) will act as a nucleophile. The nitrogen atom in the amine has a lone pair of electrons that will attack the carbonyl carbon of the acyl chloride (CH₃COCl). ### Step 3: Nucleophilic Attack The nucleophilic attack occurs as follows: - The lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom attacks the carbon atom of the carbonyl group in the acyl chloride, forming a tetrahedral intermediate. ### Step 4: Formation of the Intermediate The tetrahedral intermediate can be represented as: - CH₃C(OH)(NH₂R)Cl (where the nitrogen is bonded to the carbon and the chlorine is still attached). ### Step 5: Deprotonation The intermediate undergoes deprotonation (loss of a proton) from the nitrogen atom, which leads to the formation of a more stable structure. ### Step 6: Elimination of Chloride Ion The final step involves the elimination of the chloride ion (Cl⁻) from the intermediate, leading to the formation of a secondary amide: - CH₃C(=O)NHR (where R is the alkyl group from the primary amine). ### Step 7: Final Product The final product (A) is: - CH₃C(=O)NHR, which is a secondary amide. ### Conclusion Thus, the product (A) formed from the reaction of R-NH₂ and CH₃COCl is a secondary amide, specifically R-NH-CO-CH₃.
