(ii) 2, 4, 6-trinitrochlorobenzene is subjected to hydrolysis.
(iii) methylchloride is treated with AgCN.

Solution

(i) But - 1 - ene is formed.
$C H_{3} - C H_{2} - C H_{2} - C H_{2} - C l n-Butylchloride + K O H (a t c .) Δ - \to C H_{3} - C H_{2} - C H = C H_{2} But-1-ene + K C l + H_{2} O$

(iii) Methylisocyanide is formed.

$C H_{3} C l Methylchloride + A g C N Δ - -------- \to C_{2} H_{5} O H / H_{2} O C H_{3} - N C Methylisocyanide$
