Organic Compounds Containing Halogens Question 106
Question: Identify $ X $ and $ Y $ in the following sequence $ C_2H_5Br\xrightarrow{X}product\xrightarrow{Y}C_3H_7NH_2 $
[Orissa JEE 2005]
Options:
A) $ X=KCN,Y=LiAlH_4 $
B) $ X=KCN,Y=H_3{O^{+}} $
C) $ X=CH_3Cl,Y=AlCl_3/HCl $
D) $ X=CH_3NH_2,Y=HNO_2 $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
$ C_2H_5Br\xrightarrow{KCN(X)}C_2H_5CN\xrightarrow{LiAlH_4(Y)} $
$ C_2H_5CH_2NH_2(C_3H_7NH_2) $
$ X=KCN,Y=LiAlH_4 $
