The compounds A and B in the following reaction are, respectively:

Options

  1. AA = Benzyl alcohol, B = Benzyl isocyanide
  2. BA = Benzyl chloride, B = Benzyl isocyanide
  3. CA = Benzyl alcohol, B = Benzyl cyanide
  4. DA = Benzyl chloride, B = Benzyl cyanide

Correct answer

B. A = Benzyl chloride, B = Benzyl isocyanide

Step-by-step solution

The final product is an isocyanide as the A g C N bond has covalent nature, due to which C is unavailable for bond. Hence, N bonds with the benzylic carbon leading to formation of isocyanide.
