$A$ compound with molecular mass $180$ is acylated with $CH_3COCl$ to get a compound with molecular mass $390$. The number of amino groups present per molecule of the former compound is:

$A$ primary amine,$RNH_2$ can be reacted with $CH_3-X$ to get a secondary amine,$RNHCH_3$,but the disadvantage is that $3^o$ amine and quaternary ammonium salts are also obtained as side products. Can you suggest a method where $RNH_2$ forms only $2^o$ amine?

Suppose the following reaction:
$CH_3-CH(CH_3)-COOH + CH_3-NH_2$ $\rightarrow 'A'$ $\xrightarrow{\Delta} 'B'$ $\xrightarrow{LiAlH_4 (excess)} 'C'$
The final product '$C$' will be:
