Q. The end product $ (B) $ in the following sequence of reactions is
$ CH_3Cl \xrightarrow{KCN} B \xrightarrow{ H^+/H_2O} B $

AMUAMU 2011Aldehydes Ketones and Carboxylic Acids

Solution:

$CH_3Cl \xrightarrow{KCN} \underset{\overset{\text{alkyl cyanide}}{(A)}}{CH_3 - C \equiv N}$
$\xrightarrow{H^+/H_2O} \underset{\overset{\text{acetic add}}{(B)}}{CH_3 COOH}$
