Which from the following statement is NOT correct regarding Mendius reduction?

Options

  1. AIt is useful for preparation of R - NH ₂ .
  2. BIn this alkyl cyanides are reduced.
  3. CIn this sodium and ethanol is used for reduction.
  4. DIn this method one carbon atom is lost in the form of CO ₂ .

Correct answer

D. In this method one carbon atom is lost in the form of CO ₂ .

Step-by-step solution

Mendius reduction is a chemical reaction that involves the reduction of alkyl cyanides (nitriles) to primary amines using sodium in ethanol. This reaction is useful in organic synthesis for converting nitriles into amines.
