Match List I with List II

1 - Bromopropane is reacted with reagents in List I to give product in List II

LIST I - Reagent LIST II - Product
A. KOH\mathrm{KOH} (alc) I. Nitrile
B. KCN\mathrm{KCN} (alc) II. Ester
C. AgNO2\mathrm{AgNO_2} III. Alkene
D. H3CCOOAg\mathrm{H_3CCOOAg} IV. Nitroalkane

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Multiple Choice Options

  • A A-I, B-II, C-III, D-IV
  • B A-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I
  • C A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II
  • D A-I, B-III, C-IV, D-II

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

For the reactions of bromopropane with the reagents in List I, the products formed in List II are as follows:

A. KOH\mathrm{KOH} (alc) - Alcoholic KOH is a strong base and will cause elimination of HBr, forming an alkene as the product. So, A-III.

B. KCN\mathrm{KCN} (alc) - Potassium cyanide (KCN) will replace the bromine atom in the alkyl halide with a cyanide group, forming a nitrile. So, B-I.

C. AgNO2\mathrm{AgNO_2} - Silver nitrite (AgNO2) will replace the bromine atom with a nitro group, forming a nitroalkane. So, C-IV.

D. H3CCOOAg\mathrm{H_3CCOOAg} - Silver acetate (H3CCOOAg) will replace the bromine atom with an acetate group, forming an ester. So, D-II.

The correct answer is Option C: A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II.
