Question

Ethyl chloride on heating with AgCN, forms a compound 'X' . The functional isomer of 'X' is - (A) C2H5NC (B) C2H5NH2 (C) C2 H5 CN (D) None of the these

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Ethyl chloride on heating with AgCN form a compound X which is ethyl isocyanide. C 2 H 5 Cl + AgCN stackrelΔ longrightarrow C 2 H 5 NC + AgCl The functional isomer of X is ethyl cyanide C 2 H 5 CN

Q. Ethyl chloride on heating with $A g CN$ , forms a compound $^{'} X^{'}$ . The functional isomer of $^{'} X^{'}$ is -

$C_{2} H_{5} NC$

$C_{2} H_{5} N H_{2}$

$C_{2} H_{5} CN$

None of the these

Ethyl chloride on heating with $A g CN$ form a compound $X$ which is ethyl isocyanide.
$C_{2} H_{5} Cl + A g CN ⟶ Δ C_{2} H_{5} NC + A g Cl$
The functional isomer of $X$ is ethyl cyanide $C_{2} H_{5} CN$

Q. Ethyl chloride on heating with AgCN, forms a compound ′X′ . The functional isomer of ′X′ is -

C2​H5​NC

C2​H5​NH2​

C2​H5​CN
