Question

Ethyl chloride on heating with silver cyanide forms a compound X. The functional isomer of X is.

$C_{2}H_{5}NC$

$C_{2}H_{5}CN$

$H_{3}C - NH - CH_{3}$

$C_{2}H_{5}NH_{2}$

Answer

$C_{2}H_{5}CN$

Explanation

Solution

$C_{2}H_{5}Cl + AgCN \rightarrow \underset{\begin{aligned} & \text{Ethylisocyanide} \\ & (X) \end{aligned}}{C_{2}H_{5} - N\overrightarrow{=}C} + AgCl$

The functional isomer of ethyl isocyanide is ethyl cyanide $C_{2}H_{5} - C \equiv N$ .
