Question

?From Ethanol how you can prepare methylamine

Answer 1

The chemical formula of Methylamine is: CH₃NH₂

The chemical formula of Ethanol is : CH₃CH₂OH

?From Ethanol how you can prepare methylamine

a- Oxidation of Ethanol

The oxidation of aldehydes or primary alcohols forms carboxylic acids. In the presence of an oxidizing agent, ethanol is oxidized to acetaldehyde, which is then oxidized to acetic acid

b- Reaction between Acetic acid and ammonia to give amide

CH₃COOH + NH₃ → CH₃CONH₂ + H₂O

 C- Hofmann Rearrangement

Amides with no substituent on the nitrogen react with solutions of bromine or chlorine in sodium hydroxide to yield amines through loss of their carbonyl carbon by a reaction known as the Hofmann rearrangement
