NEET 2026 Chemistry Nucleophilic Substitution Reactions MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 11
The following two reactions give the same foul smelling product Z. X and Z, respectively, are :
A
X = AgCN; Z = C₂H₅NC
B
X = KCN; Z = C₂H₅CN
C
X = AgCN; Z = C₂H₅CN
D
X = KCN; Z = C₂H₅NC
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
C₂H₅Cl reacts with AgCN to form C₂H₅NC, a foul-smelling compound. The reaction with Br₂ and NaOH followed by CHCl₃/ethanolic KOH also leads to C₂H₅NC. Thus, X is AgCN and Z is C₂H₅NC.
