Question

Identify the product Z in the series: $ C{{H}_{3}}CN\xrightarrow{Na/{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}OH}X\xrightarrow{HN{{O}_{2}}}Y\xrightarrow{[O]}Z $

• A. $ C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}NHOH $
• B. $ C{{H}_{3}}COOH $
• C. $ C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}CON{{H}_{2}} $
• D. $ C{{H}_{3}}CHO $

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

The reaction is as follows: $ C{{H}_{3}}CN\xrightarrow[\text{reduction}]{\text{Na/}{{\text{C}}_{\text{2}}}{{\text{H}}_{\text{5}}}\text{OH}}C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}N{{H}_{2}} $ $ \xrightarrow{HN{{O}_{2}}}\underset{\text{Ethanol}}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}OH}}\,\xrightarrow{[O]}\underset{\text{Acetaldehtde}}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}CHO}}\, $
