$\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{COOH} \underset{\text { Red } \mathrm{P}}{\stackrel{\mathrm{Br}_{2}}{\longrightarrow} \mathrm{X}} \stackrel{\mathrm{NH}_{3} \text { (alc.) }}{\longrightarrow} \mathrm{Y}$
$\mathrm{Y}$ in the above reactions is
  1. lactic acid
  2. ethylamine
  3. propylamine
  4. alanine

Solution

$\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{COOH} \stackrel{\mathrm{red} \mathrm{P}, \mathrm{Br}_{2}}{\longrightarrow} \mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CHBr} \mathrm{COOH} \stackrel{\mathrm{NH}_{3}}{\longrightarrow} \underset{\alpha-\text { Aminopropionic acid (alanine) }}{\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CHNH}_{2} \mathrm{COOH}}$
