Question

Identify Z in the sequence $ C{{H}_{3}}COON{{H}_{4}}\xrightarrow{\Delta }X\xrightarrow[\Delta ]{{{P}_{2}}{{O}_{5}}}Y\xrightarrow{{{H}_{2}}O/{{H}^{+}}}Z $

• A. $ C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}CON{{H}_{2}} $
• B. $ C{{H}_{3}}CN $
• C. $ C{{H}_{3}}COOH $
• D. $ {{(C{{H}_{3}}CO)}_{2}}O $

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

$ C{{H}_{3}}COON{{H}_{4}}\xrightarrow{\Delta }\underset{\begin{smallmatrix} \text{acetamide} \\ \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,(X) \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}CON{{H}_{2}}}}\, $ $ \underset{(-{{H}_{2}}O)}{\mathop{\xrightarrow[\Delta ]{{{P}_{2}}{{O}_{5}}}}}\,\underset{\text{(Y)}}{\mathop{\underset{\text{methyl}\,\text{cyanide}}{\mathop{\text{C}{{\text{H}}_{\text{3}}}\text{CN}}}\,}}\,\xrightarrow{{{H}_{2}}O/{{H}^{+}}}\underset{(Z)}{\mathop{\underset{acetic\,acid}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}COOH}}\,}}\, $
