chem4 amines
Im stuck on the part where you have to draw the structure of the impurity...
(c) Propylamine, CH3CH2CH2NH2 can be formed either by nucleophilic substitution or by reduction.
(iii) State and explain which of the two routes to propylamine, by nucleophilic substitution or by reduction, gives the less pure product. Draw the structure of a compound formed as an impurity.
How do i figure out what the impurity is in the reaction?

Quaternary salt I think. The NH2 reacts with the excess chloropropane and so on.
I think I agree with this. Starts with ammonia and a halide (chloropropane in this case, possibly...) then you have the sequence of reactions to end up with a quaternary ammonium salt.
Yes, this is also known as successive substitution.
