The conversion of CH3CN to CH3CH2NH2 occurs through which process?

1. (a) CH3CN is reduced to CH3CH2NH2
2. (b) CH3CN undergoes reduction to form CH3CH2NH2
3. (c) CH3CN is transformed into CH3CH2NH2 via reduction
4. (d) CH3CN converts to CH3CH2NH2 through reduction

Correct answer: (a) CH3CN is reduced to CH3CH2NH2

Solution

Reduction of CH3CN (acetonitrile) to CH3CH2NH2 (ethylamine) typically occurs via catalytic hydrogenation or using reducing agents like LiAlH4. This involves the addition of hydrogen to the nitrile group, converting it to a primary amine.
