The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the two reactions involving R-Cl and identify the products A and B. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Reaction with KCN:** - The first reaction involves R-Cl reacting with KCN (potassium cyanide). - KCN dissociates into K⁺ and CN⁻. Here, CN⁻ acts as a nucleophile. 2. **Mechanism of Reaction:** - The nucleophilic CN⁻ attacks the carbon atom of the R-Cl bond. - This results in a substitution reaction (specifically an SN2 reaction) where the Cl atom is replaced by the CN group. - The product formed from this reaction is an alkyl cyanide (or nitrile), which can be represented as R-CN. 3. **Reduction with LiAlH₄:** - The alkyl cyanide (R-CN) then undergoes reduction with lithium aluminum hydride (LiAlH₄). - LiAlH₄ is a strong reducing agent that provides H⁻ ions. - The H⁻ ion attacks the carbon of the CN group, leading to the formation of a primary amine. 4. **Product A:** - The product formed after reduction is a primary amine, which can be represented as R-CH₂-NH₂. - Therefore, Product A is a primary amine. 5. **Identify the Reaction with AgCN:** - The second reaction involves R-Cl reacting with AgCN (silver cyanide). - In this case, AgCN also dissociates into Ag⁺ and CN⁻, but the mechanism differs. 6. **Mechanism of Reaction:** - Here, the nitrogen atom of CN⁻ acts as the nucleophile and attacks the carbon atom of R-Cl. - This results in the formation of an isocyanide (or carbylamine), which can be represented as R-NC. 7. **Reduction with LiAlH₄:** - The isocyanide (R-NC) is then subjected to reduction with LiAlH₄. - Similar to the previous reaction, the H⁻ from LiAlH₄ attacks the nitrogen atom, leading to the formation of a secondary amine. 8. **Product B:** - The product formed after reduction is a secondary amine, which can be represented as R-CH-NH₂ (where R is connected to both carbon and nitrogen). - Therefore, Product B is a secondary amine. ### Final Answer: - **Product A:** R-CH₂-NH₂ (Primary amine) - **Product B:** R-CH-NH₂ (Secondary amine)
