The product of mustard oil reaction is

A

Alkyl isothiocyanate

B

Dithio carbonamide

C

Dithio ethylacetate

D

Thioether

Answer

Alkyl isothiocyanate

Explanation

Solution

Mustard oil reaction

CH3−CH2−NH2+CS2Ethylamine→HgCl2\underset{\text{Ethylamine}}{CH_{3} - CH_{2} - NH_{2} + CS_{2}}\overset{\quad HgCl_{2}\quad}{\rightarrow}

CH3−CH2−N=C=SEthylisothiocyanate+H2S\underset{\text{Ethylisothiocyanate}}{CH_{3} - CH_{2} - N = C = S} + H_{2}S
