Question

An organic compound $X\left( C _{7} H _{7} Cl \right)$ when reacted with $KCN / C _{2} H _{5} OH$ gave major product $Y . Z$ is formed when $Y$ is reduced with $LiAlH _{4}$. What are $Y$ and $Z$ ?

• A.
• B.
• C.
• D.

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Answer 2

An organic compound $X\left( C _{7} H _{7} Cl \right)$ is benzyl chloride when reacted with $KCN / C _{2} H _{5} OH$ gave major product benzyl cyanide $Y\left( C _{6} H _{5} CH _{2} CN \right) . {Y}$

on reduction with $LiAlH_{4}$ gives 2 -phenyl ethan-l-amine $\left( C _{6} H _{5}\left( CH _{2}\right)_{2} NH _{2}\right), Z$. Reaction involved are as follows:
