Question

What will be the product for the following reactions?

The correct answer is

A: CH3CN, B: CH3NO2

In the first reaction with KCN, the alkyl halide undergoes nucleophilic substitution to form an nitrile group (–CN). Thus, A is CH3CN. In the second reaction with AgNO2, the nucleophilic substitution occurs to form methyl nitrite (CH3NO2). Therefore, the correct answer is Option 1.
