1) An amine can be formed when 2-iodopentane is heated with ammonia in a sealed tube. This is an example of 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.

1 answer

1) a)

CH3CH2CH2CH(CH3)I + NH3 ==> CH3CH2CH2CH(CH3)NH3 + I-
2- Iodopentane + Ammonia ==> I do not know + I do not know

b)
Displayed structure of products:

-----H--H--H--CH3-H
-----I----I----I-----I ---I
H - C - C - C - C - N - H -------- + -- (What is the displayed structure of I-)
------I---I----I-----I ---I
-----H--H---H---H --H

Is only one of the products organic? Which one or ones are organic?
