Compare routes using halogenoalkanes, amines, amide reduction, and nitrile reduction to make amines.
Primary and secondary amines, recall the reactions (reagents and conditions) by which primary and secondary amines are produced: a. reaction of halogenoalkanes with NH3 in ethanol heated under pressure b. reaction of halogenoalkanes with primary amines in ethanol, heated in a sealed tube / under pressure. c. the reduction of amides with LiAIH4, d. the reduction of nitriles with LiAIH4 or H2/ Ni.
