Question

Secondary amines react with the nitrosonium ion to generate ________. n-nitrosoamines diazonium salts anilines imines oximes

Answer 1

Answer:
             Secondary amines react with the nitrosonium ion to generate N-Nitrosoamines.

Explanation:
                   Nitosonium Ion is generally utilized in the formation of Diazonium Salts which are considered excellent starting Material from synthesis point of View. Diazonium salts are formed by reacting Primary Amine or Anilines with Nitrosonium Ions. In our case, the Amine given is Secondary. So, reaction of Sec. Amines with Nitrosonium Ions stops after the formation of N-Nitrosoamine as there is no Hydrogen attached to Nitrogen atom of Amine to be eliminated and form a double and eventually triple bond with the Nitrogen atom of Nitrosonium Ion.
