Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When an amine reacts with an acid chloride (also known as acyl chloride) in the presence of a base such as pyridine or triethylamine, it forms an amide and hydrogen chloride gas. The reaction is called an acylation reaction. So option C is the correct answer, which states that the reaction produces an amide plus HCl.
