Organic Chemistry Synthesis Possibilities Discussion

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on the conditions necessary for a reaction in organic chemistry synthesis, emphasizing that no reaction occurs under the current conditions. Participants suggest that oxidation of the amine to either an amide or imine might be required to facilitate a reaction. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding specific conditions for successful synthesis. Overall, the focus is on identifying the necessary steps to achieve a reaction in organic chemistry.

TL;DR
I was confused on whether the product would be A or B . I think it should be B because it seems more stable than A and even by reaction mechanism logic , B seems to be more likely because the H+ will be a electrophile and attach to N which has a lone pair and form NH2+ and break off the CH3 bond and form CH3+ which goes to OH- and forms methyl alcohol but i wanted to confirm just in case , i am still in high school learning a bit on my own of advanced

What would be the conditions required ?

Not sure. You would probably have to oxidize the amine (either to amide or imine) and find a way to work from there.

Thread 'How to make Sodium Chlorate by Electrolysis of salt water?'
I have a power supply for electrolysis of salt water brine, variable 3v to 6v up to 30 amps. Cathode is stainless steel, anode is carbon rods. Carbon rod surface area 42" sq. the Stainless steel cathode should be 21" sq. Salt is pure 100% salt dissolved into distilled water. I have been making saturated salt wrong. Today I learn saturated salt is, dissolve pure salt into 150°f water cool to 100°f pour into the 2 gallon brine tank. I find conflicting information about brine tank...
