Question

An organic compound (A) with molecular formula C3H5N on boiling with an alkali gives ammonia and sodium salt of an acid (B) with molecular formula C3H6O2. On reduction, (A) gives compound (C) with molecular formula C3H9N which on treatment with nitrous acid gives a compound (D). Identify (A), (B), (C) and (D). Write all the reactions.

Solution

he formula of organic compound A would be CH₃CH₂CN
The reaction sequence would be as follows:
CH₃CH₂CN(A) + NaOH → CH₃CH₂COONa(B) + NH₃
CH₃CH₂CN(A) + Reduction → CH₃CH₂CH₂NH₂(C)
CH₃CH₂CH₂NH₂(C) + HNO₂ → CH₃CH₂CH₂OH(D)
