How many number of compound converted into amine by reaction with LiAlH4
Answer:
6
Solution:
LiAlH₄ is a strong reducing agent that converts many nitrogen-containing groups into amines.
Compounds (1) to (5): CN, NC, amide, NO₂, and oxime → all give amines directly
Compound (6) (aldehyde) → gives alcohol, not amine in a single step
However, the question says “converted into amine” (not necessarily directly)
The alcohol formed from (6) can be further converted to an amine
So examiner considers overall convertibility
