Q. The refluxing of $\left( CH_{3} \right)_{2}NCOCH_{3}$ with acid gives
A) $\left( CH_{3} \right)_{2}NH + CH_{3}COOH$
B) $\left( CH_{3} \right)_{2}NCOOH + CH_{4}$
C) $2CH_{3}OH + CH_{3}CONH_{2}$
D) $2CH_{3}NH_{2} + CH_{3}COOH$
Explanation
(a)
Amides on acidic hydrolysis give acid and an amine. Hence, N-dimethylacetamide will give acetic acid and dimethyl amine on hydrolysis.
