Identify the product obtained when RCN is treated with sodium and alcohol.

Options

ARCONH ₂
BRCOONH ₄
CRCH ₂ NH ₂
DR ( CH ₂)₃ NH ₂

Correct answer

C. RCH ₂ NH ₂

Step-by-step solution

The reduction of alkyl cyanides (nitriles) with sodium and alcohol is known as the Mendius reduction. In this reaction, the cyano group ( - C N ) is reduced to a primary amine group ( - CH ₂ NH ₂ ). R-C N + 4[ H ] Na/C ₂ H ₅ OH R-CH ₂ -NH ₂ The product obtained is a primary amine, RCH ₂ NH ₂ . Answer: RCH ₂ NH ₂
