REACTION WITH ALCOHOLIC POTASSIUM CYANIDE AND SILVER CYANIDE

Nomenclature of Cyanide| Amide | Carbonyl Chloride | Alcohols and Amines

Give reasons for the following: (a) Potassium cyanide reacts with R -X to give alkyl cyanide. While silver cyanide forms an isocyanide as a major product. (b) Silver nitrite reacts R-X to give a mixture of nitroalkane and alkyl nitrite. (c) R-OH does not react NaBr but on adding H_(2)SO_(4) . if forms R-Br. (d) Alcohols do not undergo substitutionl in neutrol or alkaline solution.

Statement I Benzonitrile is prepared by the reaction of chlorobenzene with potassium cyanide. Statement II Cyanide (CN^(-)) is a strong nucleoohile.

(a) Haloalkanes react with potassium cyanide (KCN) to give alkyl cyanide but gives alkyl isocyanide with silver cyanide (AgCN). (b) Why are haloarenes more stable than haloalkanes?
