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 iso-propyl methylamine predict the structure of (A)

CH₃-CH₂ -NH -CH₃

CH₃CH₂CH₂-NH₂

Solution

straight C subscript 3 straight H subscript 7 NH subscript 2 space plus HNO subscript 2 space rightwards arrow with NaNO subscript 2 space plus HCl on top space straight C subscript 3 straight H subscript 7 OH space plus straight N subscript 2 space plus straight H subscript 2 straight O space greater than presubscript straight H subscript 3 straight C end presubscript presuperscript straight H subscript 3 straight C end presuperscript CH minus NC space rightwards arrow with Reduction on top space space stack greater than presubscript straight H subscript 3 straight C end presubscript presuperscript straight H subscript 3 straight C end presuperscript CH minus NH minus CH subscript 3 with iso minus propylmethyl space amine below
