The following two reactions give the same foul smelling product Z. [figure] X and Z, respectively, are :

  1. X = AgCN; Z = C2H5CN
  2. X = AgCN; Z = C2H5NC
  3. X = KCN; Z = C2H5CN
  4. X = KCN; Z = C2H5NC

Answer

(2) X = AgCN; Z = C2H5NC

Solution

Second reaction:

C2H5CONH2 Br2, NaOH C2H5NH2 (Y) (Hoffmann bromamide degradation)

C2H5NH2 + CHCl3 + 3KOH C2H5NC + 3KCl + 3H2O (carbylamine reaction)

∴ Z = C2H5NC (ethyl isocyanide, foul smelling).

First reaction: C2H5Cl must give the isocyanide.

∵ As per NCERT, KCN is ionic and gives alkyl cyanides (attack through C), whereas AgCN is mainly covalent and gives isocyanides (attack through N).

⇒ C2H5Cl + AgCN C2H5NC + AgCl ∴ X = AgCN.

Answer: (2)
