Amines Exam

The document contains multiple choice and short answer questions related to amines. It covers topics like the reactions of amines, their relative basic strengths, distinguishing primary, secondary and tertiary amines. Some questions test understanding of specific amine synthesis reactions like Gabriel phthalimide synthesis and Hofmann bromamide reaction. Reasoning is also tested through assertion-reason type questions involving the properties and reactivity of amines.
