Consider the reaction,CH3CH2CH2Br+ NaCN→CH3CH2CH2CN + NaBrThis reaction will be the fastest in(a) ethanol(b) methanol(c) N, N' - dimethylformamide (DMF)(d) water

Answer»

Correct option(c) N, N' - dimethylformamide (DMF)

Explanation :

The reaction,

CH3CH2CH2Br+ NaCNCH3CH2CH2CN + NaBr

follows SN2 mechanism which is favoured by polaraprotic solvent i.e.. N, N' -dimethylformamide (DMF),
