The correct Answer is:
To solve the given reaction \( CH_3-CN + CH_3CHO \overset{NaNH_2/NH_3(l)}{\rightarrow} (X) \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Reactants The reactants in the reaction are methyl cyanide (also known as acetonitrile, \( CH_3-CN \)) and acetaldehyde (\( CH_3CHO \)). ### Step 2: Understand the Role of Sodium Amide Sodium amide (\( NaNH_2 \)) is a strong base. In this reaction, it will deprotonate the most acidic hydrogen in the reactants. The most acidic hydrogen here is the one on the \( CH_2 \) group of the acetaldehyde. ### Step 3: Deprotonation The sodium amide will remove the acidic proton from the \( CH_2 \) of acetaldehyde, resulting in the formation of an enolate ion. The reaction can be represented as follows: \[ CH_3CHO + NaNH_2 \rightarrow CH_3C(O^-) + NH_3 \] ### Step 4: Nucleophilic Attack The enolate ion formed will then act as a nucleophile and attack the carbonyl carbon of the acetaldehyde. The reaction can be illustrated as: \[ CH_3C(O^-) + CH_3CN \rightarrow CH_3CH(CN)(OH) \] ### Step 5: Protonation After the nucleophilic attack, the resulting alkoxide ion will be protonated by ammonia (\( NH_3 \)), leading to the formation of the final product: \[ CH_3CH(OH)C(NH_2) \] ### Final Product Thus, the product \( (X) \) of the reaction is: \[ X = CH_3CH(OH)C(NH_2) \] ### Conclusion The final answer is \( CH_3CH(OH)C(NH_2) \). ---
