1) An amine is formed when 2-iodopentane is heated with ammonia in a sealed tube. This is a nucleophilic substitution reaction.

a) Provide a full equation (using condensed formula) for this reaction. Name the reactants and the overall products too.

b) Name the organic product formed from this reaction and draw it’s displayed structure.

4 answers

a)

-----H----I---H---H--H ----------------------------H--NH2-H---H---H
------I----I----I---I----I ------------------------ ------I----I--- -I---I----I
H - C - C - C - C - C - H ----+ NH3 ==> H - C - C - C - C - C - H + NH4I
------I----I----I----I----I ------------------------------I----I----I---I-----I
-----H--H---H----H---H ---------------------------H--H---H----H---H

CH3CH(I)CH2CH2CH3+2NH3-> CH3CH(NH2)CH2CH2CH3 + NH4I
2-iodopentane + ammonia ==> pentylamine + ammonium iodide

b)

-----H--NH2-H---H---H
------I----I--- -I---I----I
H - C - C - C - C - C - H
------I----I----I---I-----I
-----H--H---H----H---H

Is this correct?
Did I write everything correctly?
You didn't indicate where the NH2 group is attached; i.e., which carbon.
anyone can solve this please ?

The amine produced in the above reaction forms a mixture of two
optical isomers
