QNEET-2016-Ch-1111: NEET 2016 Chemistry - Class 12 NEET-2016-Ch-1111 Solution: Consider the reaction \(CH_3CH_2CH_2Br + NaCN CH_3CH_2CH_2CN +…
Consider the reaction This reaction will be the fastest in ethanol methanol N N'-dimethylformamide (DMF) Water
Multiple Choice Options
- A ethanol
- B methanol
- C N, N' -dimethylformamide (DMF)
- D Water
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
The reaction,
CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 Br + NaCN _ CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 CN + NaBr
follows S N 2 mechanism which is favoured by polar aprotic solvent i.e., N, N'�dimethylformamide (DMF).
