Answer for screen readers
The overall conversion RBr to RCH2NH2 can be accomplished by using the set of reagents NaN3; then LiAlH4, ether.
More Information
The conversion involves initial nucleophilic substitution where the bromine is replaced by azide (N3−), and then reduction of the azide to form a primary amine.
Tips
Common mistakes include selecting reagents that do not undergo substitution adequately or choosing reduction agents that do not effectively convert azides to amines.
