Q. Ethyl chloride on heating with silver cyanide forms a compound X. The functional isomer of X is:

EAMCETEAMCET 1997

Solution:

Ethyl chloride with AgCN forms ethyl isocyanide. The functional isomer of ethyl isocyanide is ethyl cyanide. $ {{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}Cl+AgCN\xrightarrow{{}}\underset{\text{Ethyl}\,\text{isocyanide}}{\mathop{{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}NC}}\,+AgCl $ $ {{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}NC $ (ethyl isocyanide) $ {{\text{C}}_{\text{2}}}{{\text{H}}_{\text{5}}}\text{CN} $ (ethyl cyanide) functional isomer
