Q)

(i) Why pH of reaction should be carefully controlled while preparing ammonia derivatives of carbonyl compound? (ii) Why formic acid is stronger acid than acetic acid

(a)In strongly basic medium ammonia derivatives being basic will react with acids and will not react with carbonyl compound.(b)In Acidic medium, OH will attack carbonyl group hence pH of a reaction should be carefully controlled.(c)In basic medium, OH will attack carbonyl group hence pH of a reaction should be carefully controlled.(d)In strongly acidic medium ammonia derivatives being acidic will react with acids and will react with carbonyl compound.
