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
