An organic compound `(C_3 H_9 N)` (A), when treated with nitrous acid, gave a alcohol and `N_2` gas was evolved. (A) on warming with `CHCl_3` and caustic potash gave (C) which on reduction gave isopropylmethylamine. Predict the structure of(A)

A

B

`CH_3 CH_2- NH-CH_3`

C

`CH_3-underset(CH_3)underset(|)N-CH_3`

D

`CH_3 CH_2 CH_2-NH_2`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
On treating with nitrous acid, primary amine gives an alcohol and `N_2` gas. So, A should be primary amine.
