An organic compound 'A' having molecular formula `C_(2)H_(3)N` on reduction gave another compound 'B' Upon treatment with nitrous acid gave ethyl alcohol and on warming with chloroform and alcoholic KOH, it formed an offensive smelling compound 'C'. The compound 'C' is :

Options

A. `CH_(3)CH_(2)NH_(2)`
B. `CH_(3)CH_(2)N=C`
C. `CH_(3)C-=N`
D. `CH_(3)CH_(2)OH`

Answer

B

Explanation

`{:(CH_(3)-C-=Noverset("Reduction")to),(" ""Methyl cyanide"),(" "A):}`
`{:(CH_(3)CH_(2)NH_(2)overset(HONO)to CH_(3)CH_(2)OH),(" ""Ethanamine" " ""Ethanol"),(" "B):}`
`underset(B)(CH_(3)CH_(2)NH_(2))overset(CHCl_(3)//KOH)tounderset("Ethyl isocyanide")(CH_(3)CH_(2)N-=C)`
