Ammonolysis of Alkyl halides followed by the treatment with NaOH solution can be used to prepare primary, secondary and tertiary amines. The purpose of NaOH in the reaction is:
Option: 1 to remove basic impurities
Option: 2 to remove acidic impurities
Option: 3 to activate NH3 used in the reaction
Option: 4 to increase the reactivity of alkyl halide
During the reaction, HX (acid) is formed.
Hence, we use NaOH to remove this acidic impurity
Therefore, the correct answer is Option (2)
