Acylation of methylamine $CH_3NH_2$ with acetyl chloride $CH_3COCl$ on the lab bench gives:
AN-methylacetamide, an amide with C-N bond on bench
BMethyl ester of acetic acid, an O-bonded product instead
CA quaternary ammonium salt of acetyl chloride directly
DNo reaction, since amines do not react with acyl chlorides ever
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. N-methylacetamide, an amide with C-N bond on bench
Amine + acyl chloride $\to$ amide; primary amine $CH_3NH_2$ gives $CH_3NHCOCH_3$ (N-methylacetamide).
