Question:
Without consulting the Reaction Road Map on page 1009, suggest reagents that convert each of the following starting materials into the indicated product:
(a) (chloromethyl)- benzene (benzyl chloride) into phenylmethanamine (benzylamine);
(b) benzaldehyde into phenylmethanamine (benzylamine);
(c) benzaldehyde into N-ethylphenylmethanamine (benzylethylamine);
(d) (chloromethyl)benzene (benzyl chloride) into 2-phenylethanamine (phenethylamine);
(e) benzaldehyde into N,N-dimethylphenylmethanamine (benzyldimethylamine);
(f) 1-phenylethanone (acetophenone) into 3-amino-1-phenyl-1-propanone;
(g) benzonitrile into phenylmethanamine (benzylamine);
(h) 2-phenylacetamide into phenylmethanamine (benzylamine).
