Hofmann's ammonolysis reaction.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Alkyl halides on heating with alcoholic solution of ammonia at 373 K in a sealed tube, yield a mixture of `1^(@),2^(@)` and `3^(@)`amines along with quaternary ammonium salts.
`underset("Alkyl halide")(RX)+NH_(3)overset(-HX)(to)underset(1^(@)"amine")(RNH_(2))underset(-HX)overset(RX)(to)underset(2^(@)"amine")(R_(2)NH)`
`overset(RX)(to)underset(3^(@)" amine")(R_(3)N)overset(RX)(to)underset("Quaternary ammmonium salt")(R_(4)N^(+)X^(-))`
