Q. Ethyl chloride on heating with $AgCN$, forms a compound $'X'$ . The functional isomer of $'X'$ is -

KCETKCET 2005Haloalkanes and Haloarenes

Solution:

Ethyl chloride on heating with $AgCN$ form a compound $X$ which is ethyl isocyanide.
$ C _2 H _5 Cl + AgCN \stackrel{\Delta}{\longrightarrow} C _2 H _5 NC + AgCl $
The functional isomer of $X$ is ethyl cyanide $C _2 H _5 CN$
