MCQ
Ethyl chloride on heating with silver cyanide forms a compound  $X$ . The functional isomer of $ X$  is
  • A
    ${C_2}{H_5}CN$
  • ${C_2}{H_5}NC$
  • C
    ${H_3}C - NH - C{H_3}$
  • D
    ${C_2}{H_5}N{H_2}$

Answer

Correct option: B.
${C_2}{H_5}NC$
b
(b)${{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}Cl+AgCN\to \underset{\begin{smallmatrix} 
 \text{Ethyl}\,\,\text{isocyanide} \\ 
 \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\text{(X)} 
\end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}-N\vec{=}\,C}}\,+AgCl$

The functional isomer of ethyl isocyanide is ethyl cyanide

${C_2}{H_5} - C \equiv N$
