When an alkyi halide reacts with alcoholic ammonia in a sealed tube then a mixture of primary, secondary and tertiary amine is formed. \[RX+N{{H}_{3}}\xrightarrow{{}}\underset{\text{pri-amine}}{\mathop{RN{{H}_{2}}}}\,+HX\] \[RN{{H}_{2}}+XR\xrightarrow{{}}\underset{\text{sec-amine}}{\mathop{RN{{H}_{2}}}}\,+HX\] \[{{R}_{2}}NH+XR\xrightarrow{{}}\underset{\text{ter-amine}}{\mathop{{{R}_{3}}N}}\,+HX\]
