The structure of the major product formed in the following reaction is :

→ DMF NaCN\xrightarrow [ \text { DMF } ] { \mathrm { NaCN } }

A
B
C
D
Answer
Explanation

Solution

Since this reaction will follow SN2 pathway so stronger the base better its nucleophilicity.

The correct order of nucleophiles would be :

CH3O¯ > OH¯ > PhO¯ > AcO¯\text{C}\text{H}_{3}\text{O}\text{¯}\text{ > OH}\text{¯}\text{ > PhO}\text{¯}\text{ > AcO}\text{¯}
