Question

Identify $Z$ in the following sequence $CH _{3} CH _{2} I \xrightarrow{ KCN } X \xrightarrow{ H _{3} O ^{+} / H _{2} O } Y \xrightarrow[\Delta]{H_3O^+/H_2O}Z$

$CH_{3}COCl$

$CH_{3}CONH_{2}$

$CH_{3}COOH$

$CH_{3}CH_{2}COOH$

Answer

$CH_{3}CH_{2}COOH$

Explanation

Solution

$CH _{3} CH _{2} I \xrightarrow [-KI]{KCN } CH_3CH_2CN \xrightarrow{ H _{3} O ^{+} / H _{2} O } CH_3CH_2CHO \xrightarrow{H_3O^+/H_2O} \underset{\text{propanoic acid}}{CH_3CH_2COOH}$
