The correct answer is:
(d) N,N-dimethylacetamide
Ethyldimethylamine is obtained by the reduction of N,N-dimethylacetamide with LiAlH₄ (lithium aluminum hydride). LiAlH₄ is a strong reducing agent that can reduce amides to amines. In this case, N,N-dimethylacetamide undergoes reduction to form ethyldimethylamine.
The reduction of other amides (like acetamide or N-methylacetamide) typically results in different amine products.
