Step-by-Step Solution

Verified
Answer

3,4,5-Trimethoxybenzoyl chloride reacts with morpholine (a secondary amine) to form trimetozine which is an amide.

 

Mechanism follows three steps:

 

Step -1: Nucleophilic Attack by Amines

Step -2: Leaving Group is Removed

Step- 3: Deprotonation or Removal of Proton
