Reactions of ethylamines

Finally got the 6 reactions in my head. Let's see if I can recall all six.
1) reaction with water to form hydroxide ion

CH3CH2NH2 + H2O ---> CH3CH2NH3+ + OH -

2) reaction with an acid to form a salt

CH3CH2NH2 + H+ --> CH3CH2NH3+

3) reaction with an acid chloride to form a substituted anode (ethanoylation)

CH3CH2NH2 + CH3COCl --> CH3CONHCH3CH2 + HCl

4) reaction with copper (II) ions
To form complex ions.

[Cu(H2O)6]2+ + 4CH2CH3NH2 --> [ Cu(CH3CH2NH2)4(H2O)2] + 4H2O

5) reaction with halogenoalkanes to form secondary amines.

CH3CH2NH2 + CH3CH2Cl---> (CH3CH2)2NH + HCl

6) reaction between a primary amine and nitrous acid to form a primary alcohol.

CH3CH2NH2 + HNO2 --> CH3CH2OH + N2 + H2O

Yes!! I did it. Now moving on to phenylamines... I can do this!!
