The products A and B in the following reactions, respectively are A ← AgNO2 ← CH3CH2CH2Br → AgCN → B

1. CH3CH2CH2ONO, CH3CH2CH2NC
2. CH3CH2CH2ONO, CH3CH2CH2CN
3. CH3CH2CH2NO2, CH3CH2CH2CN
4. CH3CH2CH2NO2, CH3CH2CH2NC

Correct answer: CH3CH2CH2NO2, CH3CH2CH2NC

Solution

The correct option reflects the transformations occurring in the reactions: the first reaction with AgNO2 leads to the formation of an alkyl nitrite (A), while the second reaction with AgCN results in the formation of an alkyl cyanide (B). This aligns with the expected products based on the reagents used.
