Identify the products (A) and (B) in the reactions. `RX+AgCNtoul((A))+AgX` `RX+KCNtoul((A))+KX`A. (A)-RCN, (B)- RCNB. (A)-RCN, (B)-RNCC. (A)-RNC, (B)-RCND. (A)-RNC, (B)-RNC

Answer» Correct Answer - C
`RX+AgCN to underset((A))(RNC)+AgX`
`RX+KCNto underset((B))(RCN)+KX`
Both C and N can donate electron pairs. Since KCN is predominantly ionic and C - C bond is more stable than C - N bond in case of KCN, attack takes place through carbon atom.
AgCN is predominantly covalent hence only nitrogen pair is available for bonding resulting in formation of isocyanide.
