Which of the following amines reacts with CH₃COCl to form an amide?

Primary amines like CH₃CH₂NH₂ react with acetyl chloride ( CH₃COCl ) to form amides ( CH₃CONHCH₂CH₃ ), while tertiary amines do not. This follows from NCERT principle where the relation explains the outcome clearly for students in simple steps.

What is the product when CH₃CH₂NH₂ reacts with CH₃COOH in the presence of a dehydrating agent?

Ethanamine ( CH₃CH₂NH₂ ) reacts with acetic acid ( CH₃COOH ) under dehydration conditions to form CH₃CONHCH₂CH₃ (N-ethylacetamide). This follows from NCERT principle where the relation explains the outcome clearly for students in simple steps.
