Q14 / 125 · BITSAT 2017 · Chemistry

In the reaction, 

CH3·CH2·Cl⟶KCNA⟶LiAlH4P end product P is

  • A
    CH3CH2·NO2
  • B
    CH3CH2CH2NO2
  • C
    CH3CH2NH2
  • Correct answer
    D
    CH3·CH2·CH2NH2

Solution

When the reducing agent is lithium aluminium hydride, the aldehyde group is reduced to primary alcohol but the carbon-carbon double bond is unaffected.

In the given reaction the end product is (d). It is obtained
as follows.

CH3CH2·Cl⟶KCNCH3CH2CN(A)→(Reduction)LiAlH4CH3CH2CH2·NH2

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