Q40 / 160 · TS EAMCET 2022 (18 Jul Shift 2) · Chemistry

The major product of the following synthetic sequence is

A
B
C
Correct answer
D

Solution

A piece of sodium metal is added to absolute ethanol to form sodium ethoxide and nascent hydrogen. The nascent hydrogen is responsible for reduction of nitrile. Reduction of cyanide in $Na - Hg$ to amine ( $1^{o}$ ) occur in presence of ethyl alcohol.

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