Which of the following reactions produce ethyl cyanide as a major product? 1. ( CH ₃ CH ₂ CH = NOH ( CH ₃ O )₂ O ) 2. ( CH ₃ CH ₂ Cl Ethanolic KCN ) 3. ( CH ₃ CH ₂ Cl Ethanolic KCN ) 4. ( CH ₃ CH ₂ CON ( CH ₃ )₂ [ Pyridine, 70^ C ] C ₆ H ₅ SO ₂ Cl )
Options
- A1,3
- B2,3
- C3,4
- D1,2
Correct answer
D. 1,2
Step-by-step solution
(1 . CH ₃ CH ₂ CH = NOH [-2 CH ₃ COOH ] ( CH ₃ CO )₂ O (Ethyl cyanide) CH ₃ CH ₂ CN ) So, reactions 1 and 2 give ethyl cyanide as the major product.
