AI Thread Summary
Converting a secondary amine to a primary amine using the proposed route may yield limited results due to its complexity. The discussion emphasizes the importance of identifying effective methods specifically for this conversion. Creating a double bond is suggested as a viable initial step, followed by inducing a carbon-nitrogen double bond, particularly when conjugated with a benzene ring. Participants are encouraged to review the numbered reagents and products for accuracy. Overall, the conversation highlights the need for more efficient strategies in amine conversion.

I numbered each reagent and product so you can point and laugh accurately. Any tips would be awesome!

I don't really need a full walkthrough, but if any you you guys spot a product/reagent 1-19 that you notice is right or wrong then please let me know :)
 
The route seems excessive, you won't get a significant yield with it, the significance here is converting a secondary amine to a primary amine, you should search for methods that have to do with this topic in general.

You're approach of creating the double bond seems to be a good initial step, the next one would be to induce the carbon nitrogen double bond since it is more favorable when its conjugated with the Benzene ring.

TL;DR Summary: cannot find out error in solution proposed. [![question with rate laws][1]][1] Now the rate law for the reaction (i.e reaction rate) can be written as: $$ R= k[N_2O_5] $$ my main question is, WHAT is this reaction equal to? what I mean here is, whether $$k[N_2O_5]= -d[N_2O_5]/dt$$ or is it $$k[N_2O_5]= -1/2 \frac{d}{dt} [N_2O_5] $$ ? The latter seems to be more apt, as the reaction rate must be -1/2 (disappearance rate of N2O5), which adheres to the stoichiometry of the...
