Q. An organic amino compound reacts with aqueous nitrous acid at low temperature to produce an oily nitrosoamine. The compound is
A) $CH_{3}NH_{2}$
B) $CH_{3}CH_{2}NH_{2}$
C) $CH_{3}CH_{2}NHCH_{2}CH_{3}$
D) $\left( CH_{3}CH_{2} \right)_{3}N$
Explanation
(c)
Secondary amine on reaction with aq. $HNO_{2}$ at low temperature produces yellow oily nitrosoamines.$\ CH_{3}CH_{2}NHCH_{2}CH_{3}$ is secondary amine.
