NEETChemistryGeneral Organic Chemistry
Given below are two statements : Statement I : C 2 H 5 OH and AgCN both can generate nucleophile. Statement II : KCN and AgCN both will generate nitrile nucleophile with all reaction conditions. Choose the most appropriate option :
Options
- AStatement I is true but statement II is false
- BBoth statement I and statement II are true
- CStatement I is false but statement II is true
- DBoth statement I and statement II are false
Correct answer
A. Statement I is true but statement II is false
Step-by-step solution
C 2 H 5 OH and AgCN both can generate nucleophiles. AgCN generate isocyanide as a nucleophile but KCN cyanide as a nucleophile.
