Homework Statement
Part of a long question:
suggest the type of reaction occurring:
(C6H5)3C-NH-CH(CH3)-CO-NHCH2COOH -----> (C6H5)3C-H + NH2-CH(CH3)-CO-NHCH2COOH
The Attempt at a Solution
what i got in mind is that it could a free radical substitution reaction?! using H2...
and i also realized that the reaction is converting a secondary amine to a primary amine... i don't know how it can be done... although converting a primary amine to a secondary one can easily be done by reacting the amine with an alkyl halide... nucleophilic substitution reaction.
