The correct Answer is:
To determine whether a new carbon-carbon bond formation is possible in the given reactions, we will analyze each option step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Option D Analysis**: - The reaction involves CH3-CH2-Br and KCN (alcoholic). - In this reaction, the cyanide ion (CN-) acts as a nucleophile. - The bromine atom (Br) is a good leaving group and will leave, allowing the cyanide to attack the carbon atom bonded to Br. - This results in the formation of a new carbon-carbon bond between the CH3 and the carbon from CN, leading to the product CH3-CH2-C≡N. - **Conclusion**: A new carbon-carbon bond is formed in this reaction. 2. **Option C Analysis**: - The reaction involves CH3-CH2-Br and O-CH3 (methoxy group). - Here, the methoxy group acts as a nucleophile. - The methoxy will attack the carbon bonded to Br, causing Br to leave. - The product formed is CH3-CH2-O-CH3, which results in the formation of a carbon-oxygen bond, not a carbon-carbon bond. - **Conclusion**: No new carbon-carbon bond is formed. 3. **Option B Analysis**: - The reaction involves CH3-CH2-Br and NH2-CH3 (methylamine). - The nitrogen atom in methylamine has a lone pair and acts as a nucleophile. - It attacks the carbon bonded to Br, leading to the formation of CH3-CH2-NH-CH3 and HBr as a byproduct. - This results in the formation of a carbon-nitrogen bond, not a carbon-carbon bond. - **Conclusion**: No new carbon-carbon bond is formed. 4. **Option A Analysis**: - The reaction involves benzene (C6H6) and CH3Cl in the presence of AlCl3. - This is a Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction. - The CH3 group from CH3Cl will attach to the benzene ring, forming toluene (C6H5-CH3). - This reaction results in the formation of a carbon-carbon bond between the benzene ring and the CH3 group. - **Conclusion**: A new carbon-carbon bond is formed. ### Final Conclusion: The reactions that lead to the formation of new carbon-carbon bonds are: - **Option D**: CH3-CH2-Br + KCN → CH3-CH2-C≡N (C-C bond formed) - **Option A**: C6H6 + CH3Cl → C6H5-CH3 (C-C bond formed) ### Summary: - **Option D** and **Option A** result in the formation of new carbon-carbon bonds. - **Option B** and **Option C** do not form carbon-carbon bonds.

To determine whether a new carbon-carbon bond formation is possible in the given reactions, we will analyze each option step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Option D Analysis**: - The reaction involves CH3-CH2-Br and KCN (alcoholic). - In this reaction, the cyanide ion (CN-) acts as a nucleophile. - The bromine atom (Br) is a good leaving group and will leave, allowing the cyanide to attack the carbon atom bonded to Br. ...
