Identify the compounds in the following.
Question
$\text{CH}_3\text{C}\equiv\text{N} \xrightarrow{4[\text{H}]} [\text{A}] \xrightarrow{\text{HNO}_2 (0^\circ\text{C})} [\text{B}] \xrightarrow{\text{SOCl}_2 (\text{Pyridine})} [\text{C}]$
Answer
Answer
Official answer keyA - ethanamine: CH3CH2NH2
B - ethanol: CH3CH2OH
C - chloroethane: CH3CH2Cl
A = ethanamine ($\mathrm{CH_3CH_2NH_2}$)
B = ethanol ($\mathrm{CH_3CH_2OH}$)
C = chloroethane ($\mathrm{CH_3CH_2Cl}$)
