Alkyl halide is converted into alkyl isocyanide by reaction with

Options

  1. ANaCNNaCN
  2. BNH4CN{NH}_{4}CN
  3. CKCNKCN
  4. DAgCNAgCN

Correct answer

D. AgCNAgCN

Step-by-step solution

AgCNAgCN is covalent in nature so it does not dissociate in to Ag+{Ag}^{+} and CN−{CN}^{-} and on nitrogen electron density is high,and nitrogen is free to donate electron pair forming isocyanide or alkyl isonitrile as the main product.

R−X+AgCN→RNC+AgXR - X + AgCN \to RNC + AgX

KCNKCN is ionic in nature, so it dissociates completely.

R−X+KCN→RCN+KXR - X + KCN \to RCN + KX

Hence the answer is D.
