An organic compound (C3H9N) (A), when treated with nitrous acid, gave an alcohol and N2 gas was evolved. (A) on warming with CHCl3 and caustic potash gave (C) which on reduction gave isopropylmethylamine. Predict the structure of (A)
- A

- BCH3CH2 NH CH3
- C

- DCH3CH2CH2 NH2

Correct answer: A
As A gives alcohol on treatment with nitrous acid thus it should be primary amine. C3H9N has two possible structure with –NH2 group.

As it gives isopropylmethylamine thus it should be isopropyl amine not n-propyl amine.
