Question

`underset ((X)) underset ("Optically active") (C_5 CH_(13)N) underset (N_2)overset(NaNO_2//HCl) rarr (Y)underset (+" Other product" ) ("Tertiary alcohol")`
Find (X ) and (Y ) . Is (Y ) optically active ? Write the intermediate steps .

Answer 1

Correct Answer - A
`underset("(X)")(C_(5)H_(13)N)overset(NaNO_(2)//HCl)underset(N_(2))tounderset(3^(@) "alcohol")("(Y)+other product")`
`C_(5)H_(13)N` shows the following strucutres which is optical active `underset("(X)")(H_(3)C-overset(CH_(3))overset(|)(C)H-overset(NH_(2))overset(|)(C)H-CH_(3))`
