According to my notes, I can only go from chloroethane/ethanol to ethanamine via reaction with ammonia.

i beleive if u want to go from ethen to ethylamine

the path is as follows.

Ethene--(HCL)-->Chloroethane--(NH3 and hightemp)-->ethylamine

or

Ethene--(H20 and H3P04)-->Ethanol--(NH3 and hightemp)-->ethylamine

Under the right conditions, yes. http://www.patentstorm.us/patents/4302603.html

For the VCAA exam, ethene does not react with ammonia.

But, as Mao points out, it can react under exceptional circumstances.

would an understanding of the pathway of aspirin (and its production) be beneficial?
