Preparation of amines | Amines | Grade 12 | Chemistry | Khan Academy

This video explores the major routes of amine preparation—starting from the reduction of nitro compounds under strongly and weakly acidic media, to electrolytic reduction techniques. We also cover ammonolysis of alkyl halides in depth, along with its drawbacks, and delve into the reduction of nitriles and amides with mechanistic clarity. A complete breakdown of all key methods you need to know. Courses on Khan Academy are always 100% free. Start practicing—and saving your progress—now! https://www.khanacademy.org/science/c...
