Identify substrate ' \(\mathrm{A}\) ' in the following conversion.
\(
\mathrm{A}+\underset{\text { (excess) }}{\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{I}} \stackrel{\Delta}{\longrightarrow} \mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}_5\left(\mathrm{CH}_3\right)_3 \stackrel{+}{\mathrm{N} \mathrm{N}^{-}}
\)

  1. A \(\mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}_5 \mathrm{NO}_2\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}_5 \mathrm{CN}\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}_5 \mathrm{NH}_2\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CONH}_2\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}_5 \mathrm{NH}_2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(
\mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}_5 \mathrm{NH}_2+\underset{\text { (excess) }}{\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{I}} \stackrel{\Delta}{\longrightarrow} \underset{\text { Tetraalkylammonium iodide }}{\mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}_5\left(\mathrm{CH}_3\right)_3 \mathrm{NI}^{-}}
\)
The reaction is known as exhaustive alkylation of amines.
