Vedclass · Answer

(D) The reaction of alcohols with ammonia in the presence of a catalyst like $Al_2O_3$ or $ThO_2$ at $300-400^{\circ}C$ is a catalytic ammonolysis process. This reaction does not stop at the primary amine stage. The primary amine formed $(CH_3NH_2)$ further reacts with the alcohol to form secondary amine $((CH_3)_2NH)$ and tertiary amine $((CH_3)_3N)$. Therefore,the final product is a mixture of primary,secondary,and tertiary amines.

The ammonolysis of alcohol is represented by the reaction $xCH_3OH + yNH_3 \xrightarrow[Al_2O_3/ThO_2]{300-400^{\circ}C} \text{Products}$. The products formed are:
