    Choose the amide which on reduction with \[LiAl{{H}_{4}}\]yields a secondary amine

    A) ethanamide

    B) N-methylethanamide

    C) N, N-dimethylethanamide

    D) phenylmethanamide

    E) butanamide

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Secondary amides such as N-methylethanamide on reduction with\[LiAl{{H}_{4}}\]give secondary amines. \[\underset{N\text{ }-methylethanamide}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}CONHC{{H}_{3}}}}\,+[H]\xrightarrow{LiAl{{H}_{4}}}\] \[\underset{2{}^\circ \text{ }amine}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}NHC{{H}_{3}}}}\,+{{H}_{2}}O\]
