The correct Answer is:
To solve the reaction \( C_6H_5-CH_2-Br + AgCN \rightarrow X \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Reactants The reactants in this reaction are: - Benzyl bromide (\( C_6H_5-CH_2-Br \)) - Silver cyanide (\( AgCN \)) ### Step 2: Understand the Reaction Mechanism In this reaction, silver cyanide acts as a nucleophile. The bromine atom in benzyl bromide is a good leaving group. When silver cyanide is introduced, it will replace the bromine atom. ### Step 3: Nucleophilic Substitution The nucleophilic substitution occurs as follows: - The cyanide ion (\( CN^- \)) from \( AgCN \) attacks the carbon atom that is bonded to the bromine in benzyl bromide. - As a result, the bromine atom leaves, and the cyanide group attaches to the benzyl carbon. ### Step 4: Forming the Product The product formed from this reaction is benzyl cyanide (\( C_6H_5-CH_2-CN \)), but since the question specifies the major product, we need to consider the isocyanide formation as well. ### Step 5: Final Product The major product of this reaction is isocyanide, which is represented as: \[ C_6H_5-CH_2-NC \] This is because the reaction with \( AgCN \) can lead to the formation of isocyanide due to the rearrangement of the cyanide group. ### Conclusion Thus, the major product \( X \) is \( C_6H_5-CH_2-NC \). ### Answer The major product \( X \) is \( C_6H_5-CH_2-NC \). ---
