The correct Answer is:
To solve the given question, we need to analyze the reaction step by step. The reaction involves the conversion of a nitrile (R-C≡N) to an imine (X) and then to an aldehyde (Y) through hydrolysis. Let's break down the steps: ### Step 1: Reaction of Nitrile with Stannous Chloride and Hydrochloric Acid - The starting compound is a nitrile, represented as R-C≡N. - When R-C≡N is treated with stannous chloride (SnCl₂) and hydrochloric acid (HCl), it undergoes reduction. - The triple bond (C≡N) in the nitrile is converted to a double bond (C=NH), forming an imine (X). **Intermediate formed:** \[ R-C≡N \xrightarrow{SnCl_2 + HCl} R-CH=NH \quad (X) \] ### Step 2: Hydrolysis of the Imine - The next step involves the hydrolysis of the imine (X) using hydronium ions (H₃O⁺). - Hydrolysis involves the addition of water (H₂O) in the presence of H₃O⁺, which leads to the breaking of the C=N bond. - This results in the formation of an aldehyde (Y) and ammonia (NH₃) as a byproduct. **Final product formed:** \[ R-CH=NH \xrightarrow{H_3O^+} R-CHO + NH_3 \quad (Y) \] ### Conclusion The overall transformation can be summarized as: 1. **From Nitrile to Imine:** Reduction of nitrile to imine. 2. **From Imine to Aldehyde:** Hydrolysis of imine to form aldehyde. ### Name of the Reaction The reaction described is known as the **Stiffens Reaction** (or Stefan's reaction), which involves the reduction of nitriles to imines followed by hydrolysis to form aldehydes. ### Final Answer The reaction is the **Stiffens Reaction**. ---
