C2H5Br AgCN X Reduction Zn–Rg/HCl Y, Here Y is

  1. Ethyl methyl amine
  2. n-propylamine
  3. Isopropylamine
  4. Ethylamine

Correct answer: Ethyl methyl amine

Solution

The reaction sequence involves the formation of an intermediate that, upon reduction, yields ethyl methyl amine. The initial reaction with AgCN introduces a cyanide group, which is then reduced to form the amine with both ethyl and methyl groups.
