Identify the reagent $\mathrm{A}$ in the following conversion. Alkyl halide $\stackrel{\mathrm{A}}{\longrightarrow}$ Alkyl nitrite

  • A
    $KNO_3$
  • B
    $NaNO_3$
  • C
    $AgNO_2$
  • Correct answer
    D
    $KNO_2$

Solution

Alkyl halide $(\mathrm{R}-\mathrm{X})$ on treatment with $\mathrm{KNO}_2$ forms alkyl nitrite $(\mathrm{R}-\mathrm{O}-\mathrm{N}=\mathrm{O})$.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
