Which is not the property of ethanenitrile (CH_(3)CN)

Answer»

Undergoes acidic hydrolysis to give carboxylic acid
Undergoes ALKALINE hydrolysis to give salt of carboxylic acid
It tautomerises to give methyl isocyanide
It gives carbylamine reaction with CHLOROFORM

Solution :Carbylamine reaction is given by ALIPHATIC and aromatic PRIMARY AMINE.
`CH_(3)CN` does not give carbylamine reaction with chloroform because it is not an amine.
`CH_(3)CN` undergoes acidic hydrolysis to give carboxylic acid.
`CH_(3)CNoverset(H_(2)O //H^(+))rarrCH_(3)CONH_(2)overset(H_(2)O //H^(+))rarrCH_(3)COOH+NH_(3)`
`CH_(3)CN` undergoes alkaline hydrolysis to give salt of carboxylic acid.
`CH_(3)CN` tautomerises to give methyl isocyanide
`CH_(3)-C=NhArrC=N-CH_(3)`
