Q. In which case formation of butane nitrile is possible?
A) $C_{3}H_{7}Br + KCN$
B) $C_{4}H_{9}Br + KCN$
C) $C_{3}H_{7}OH + KCN$
D) $C_{4}H_{9}OH + KCN$
Explanation
(a)
When propyl bromide is reacted with KCN, butanenitrile is formed.
$CH_{3}CH_{2}CH_{2}Br + KCN \rightarrow CH_{3}CH_{2}CH_{2}C \equiv N + KBr$
propyl bromide butane nitrile
