Q. In the reaction
$CH_3CN + 2H \xrightarrow [SnCl_2] {HCl}X \xrightarrow {\text{boiling} \, H_2 O} Y, $
The term $Y$ is :

BITSATBITSAT 2006

Solution:

$CH _{3}- C \equiv N +2 H \xrightarrow [{\text{ether}}] {HCl}CH _{3}- \underset{(X)}{CH} = NH$
$CH _{3}- CH = NH \xrightarrow[]\Delta { H _{2} O } \underset{(Y)}{CH _{3}- CHO} + NH _{3}$
$Y=$ Acetaldehyde
