The correct Answer is:
To prepare `Me₃C`CN (tert-butyl cyanide), we can consider the following steps based on the provided options and the general reactivity of the compounds involved. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Target Compound**: We want to prepare tert-butyl cyanide, which has the structure `Me₃C`CN. This indicates that we need a tert-butyl group (three methyl groups attached to a carbon) and a cyanide group (CN). 2. **Consider the Reactants**: The potential reactants given in the options include: - Tertiary alcohol `Me₃COH` - Grignard reagent `Me₃CMgBr` - Alkyl halide `Me₃Cl` - Cyanide source `KCN` or `NaCN` 3. **Evaluate the Best Method**: - **Option A**: `Me₃COH + HSCN` - This is not ideal as it involves an alcohol which may not directly lead to the desired cyanide. - **Option B**: `Me₃CMgBr` with `C≡N` (cyanide) - This is a good option because Grignard reagents are strong nucleophiles and can react with cyanide to form `Me₃C`CN. - **Option C**: `Me₃Cl` with `NH₂CN` - This could lead to an acid-base reaction rather than forming the desired cyanide. 4. **Select the Best Option**: The best method for the preparation of `Me₃C`CN is through the reaction of the Grignard reagent `Me₃CMgBr` with cyanide (C≡N). This will allow the nucleophilic attack of the Grignard reagent on the carbon of the cyanide, leading to the formation of the desired product. ### Final Answer: The best method for the preparation of `Me₃C`CN is through the reaction of `Me₃CMgBr` with cyanide (C≡N). ---
