Why while preparation of amines Fe +HCL is prefered
  • 1 answers

Dr. Kamlapati Bhatt 7 years, 8 months ago

Reduction of a nitro alkane with iron scrap  (Fe)  +  HCl is preferred because ,

(i)  Fe Cl2 is produced which gets easily hydrolysed to form FeCl3 and release HCl during the reaction.

Fe   +    2HCl   ------------>   FeCl2  +   2H 

(ii)  the process , therefore , becomes  economical as only a small amount of HCl  is required to initiate the reaction.

   Usually(, Fe +  HCl ) is preferred as a reducing agent , particularly in manufacture of amines.
