MCQ
Aromatic nitriles $(ArCN)$ are not prepared by reaction
  • $ArX + KCN$
  • B
    $ArN_2^ +  + CuCN$
  • C
    $ArCON{H_2} + {P_2}{O_5}$
  • D
    $ArCON{H_2} + {SOCL_2}$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$ArX + KCN$
a
(a) Halogen have $-I$ and $+M$ effect by which its electron delocalized in benzene ring by resonance & due to its $-I$ effect its bonded with benzene ring and cannot be substitute by $C{N^ - }$ & show the inertness against $KCN$ while other option gives Aromatic nitrile

$ArN_2^ + + CuCN \to ArCN + {N_2} + C{u^ + }$

$ArCON{H_2}\mathop {\xrightarrow{{{P_2}{O_5}}}}\limits_{ - {H_2}O} ArCN$

$ArCON{H_2} + SOC{l_2} \to ArCN + S{O_2} + 2HCl$
