Ques. 1JEE Main 2024, 29 January (Evening Shift)

Alkyl halide is converted into alkyl isocyanide by reaction with

  1. KCN
  2. NH4CN
  3. NaCN
  4. AgCN

Answer

(4) AgCN

Solution

R-X + AgCN R-NC + AgX

∵ AgCN is mainly covalent (Ag–C bond), so only the lone pair on N is free ⇒ N attacks ⇒ isocyanide.

(1), (2), (3): KCN, NH4CN, NaCN are ionic ⇒ free CN- attacks through C ⇒ nitrile R–CN ⇒ (1), (2), (3) are wrong

Answer: (4)
