Nitrogen compounds — practice question
Butylamine, $\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{CH}_2\text{CH}_2\text{NH}_2$, may be prepared from several organic starting compounds by choosing suitable reagents. Each synthesis takes place in one step.
(a)[6]
Fill in the table to show three different syntheses.
• One of the three syntheses must be a nucleophilic substitution reaction.
• Each starting organic compound must contain a different functional group.
• Use a different reagent for each synthesis.
(b)[4]
Compare the basicities of ammonia, butylamine and phenylamine, and explain why they differ. \dotfill most basic $>$ \dotfill $>$ \dotfill least basic
