Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 28

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Lithium aluminium hydride is a strong reducing agent. It reduces cyanide to primary amine with no loss of carbon. Primary amine can undergo nucleophilic addition reaction with acetophenone to produce imine derivative. The carbon with one pi bond are sp2 hybridised carbon. All the carbon in benzene ring are sp2 hybridised. Hence, totally 28 sp2 carbon are present in the molecule.
