5 - Question
Which process is most feasible for the reduction of amines?
a) Zinc and acid
b) Tin and acid
c) Al and Sulphuric acid
d) All of the mentioned
View Answer
Explanation: This process is technically most feasible for the preparation of those amines which are insoluble at a pH lower than 5.0, so that the amine may be separated from dissolved zinc salts without resorting to a very elaborate isolation scheme such as extraction with organic solvents.
