Question

Identify the compounds [A], [B] and [C] in the following reaction:

\[\ce{CH3C≡N ->[4{[H]}] [A]->[HNO2 (0°C)] [B]->[SOCl2 (Pyridine)] [C]}\]

Answer 1

\[\ce{CH3C≡N ->[4{[H]}] \underset{(A)}{CH3CH2NH2} ->[HNO2 (0°C)] \underset{(B)}{CH3CH2OH} ->[SOCl2 (Pyridine)] \underset{(C)}{CH3CH2Cl}}\]
