Identify the product ' \(B\) ' in the following sequence of reactions.
Ethanenitrile \(\xrightarrow{\mathrm{SnCl}_2, \mathrm{HCl}} \mathrm{A} \xrightarrow{\mathrm{H}_3, \mathrm{O}^{+}} \mathrm{B}+\mathrm{NH}_4 \mathrm{Cl}\)

  1. A Ethylamine
  2. B Ethanamide
  3. C Ethanol
  4. D Ethanal
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) Ethanal

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(CH_3C \equiv N \xrightarrow{\mathrm{SnCl}_2, \mathrm{HCl}} CH_3CH=NH \cdot HCl \text{ (A)}\) \(CH_3CH=NH \cdot HCl \xrightarrow{\mathrm{H_3O^+}} CH_3CHO + NH_4Cl \text{ (B)}\)
