Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The product formed by the reaction of butanoic acid with methylamine is an amide since the -COOH group of the acid reacts with the -NH2 group of the amine to form an amide linkage (-CONH-). The resulting carbonyl carbon is attached to a methyl group (from the methylamine) and a four-carbon alkyl chain (from the butanoic acid), thus forming an N-methylbutanamide.
