Acetonitrile ( $M e N^{⨁} \equiv C ⊖$ ) on reaction with $C l_{2}$ with DMSO gives methyl isocyanate (MeN = C=O). Isocyanides can also be oxidised to alkyl isocyanates with:

Solution

The correct option is A $H g O$
$C H_{3} N \equiv C + C l_{2} + (C H_{3})_{2} S O \to C H_{3} N = C = O$

Isocyanides can also be oxidised to alkyl isocyanates with $H g O$

$R N C + H g O \to R N = C = O A k y l i s o c y a n a t e s + H g$
