Chloromethane on treatment with excess of ammonia yields mainly

N,N – dimethylmethanamine

N- methylmethanamine $(CH_{3} - NH - CH_{3})$

Methanamine $(CH_{3}NH_{2})$

Mixture containing all these in equal proportion

Answer

N,N – dimethylmethanamine

Explanation

Solution

Compound (1) is enantiomer of compound (I) because the configuration of two groups, i.e. $CH_{3}$ and $C_{2}H_{5}$ in them is reversed at the chiral carbon.
