Ethyl chloride on heating with AgCN forms a compound X. The functional isomer of X is -
Options
- AC 2 H 5 C N
- BC 2 H 5 N H 2
- CC 2 H 5 N C
- DNone of these
Correct answer
A. C 2 H 5 C N
Step-by-step solution
C 2 H 5 Cl + AgCN → C 2 H 5 NC + AgCl X Thus, X is ethyl isocyanide. As the question is asking about the functional isomer of X, the functional isomer of C 2 H 5 NC will be C 2 H 5 CN, i.e. ethyl cyanide.
