  1. A N, N-dimethylphenylmethanamine
  2. B N, N-dimethylbenzenamine
  3. C N-benzyl-N-methylmethanamine
  4. D phynyl-N-N-dimethylmethanamine
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) N, N-dimethylphenylmethanamine

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Benzyl chloride on reaction with alc. \(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\) gives benzyl amine \((A)\) which further on reaction with two moles of \(\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{Cl}\) give \(\mathrm{N}\), \(\mathrm{N}\)-dimethyl phenylmethanamine \((B)\).
