Question

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

\[\ce{C2H5Br ->[KCN] [A] ->[LiAlH4][{[4H]}] [B] ->[HNO2][0^\circ-5^\circ C] [C]}\]

Answer 1

\[\ce{C2H5Br ->[KCN] \underset{Ethyl Cyanide}{\underset{(A)}{C2H5CN}} ->[LiAlH4][{[4H]}] \underset{Propyllamine}{\underset{(B)}{C2H5CH2NH2}} ->[HNO2][0^\circ-5^\circ C] \underset{Propanol}{\underset{(C)}{C2H5CH2OH}}}\]
