Q. $R-C \equiv N+2 \left(H \right) \ce{ ->[(i) Sncl_{2} / dil Hcl][(ii) H_{3}O^+]} RCHO+NH_{4}Cl$ this reaction is known as

MHT CETMHT CET 2015

Solution:

When alkyl or aryl cyanide undergoes reduction in the presence of $SnCl _{2} / dil . HCl$ followed by hydrolysis, forms aldehyde. This reaction is known as 'Stephen reaction'.
