CH3CH2Cl NaCN X Ni/H2 Y acetic anhydride Z Z in the above reaction sequence is
- CH3CH2CH2NHCOCH3
- CH3CH2CH2NH2
- CH3CH2CH2CONHCH3
- CH3CH2CH2CONHCOCH3
Answer
(1) CH3CH2CH2NHCOCH3
Solution
CH3CH2Cl NaCN CH3CH2CN (X) (nucleophilic substitution)
CH3CH2CN Ni/H2 CH3CH2CH2NH2 (Y) (reduction of nitrile)
As per NCERT, primary amines undergo acylation with acid anhydrides to form amides.
CH3CH2CH2NH2 + (CH3CO)2O CH3CH2CH2NHCOCH3 (Z) + CH3COOH
