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
