Which of the following is not the property of ethanenitrile `(CH_3CN)` ?A. Undergoes acidic hydrolysis to give carboxylic acid.B. Undergoes alkaline hydrolysis to give salt of carboxylic acid.C. It tautomerises to give methyl isocyanide.D. It gives carbylamine reaction with chloroform |

Answer» Correct Answer - D Carbykamine reaction is given by aliphatic and aromatic primary amine. `CH_3CN` does not give carbylamine reaction with chloroform because it is not an amine . `CH_3CN` undergoes acidic hydrolysis to give carboxylic acid. `CH_3CN underset"Partial hydrolysis"overset(H_2O // H^+) to CH_3CONH_2 underset"Complete hydrolysis " overset(H_2O // H^+) to underset"Acetic acid"(CH_3COOH)+CH_3` `CH_3CN` undergoes alkaline hydrolysis to give salt of carboxylic acid . `CH_3CN underset(H_2O)overset(NaOH)to CH_3CONH_2 underset(H_2O)overset(NaOH)to underset("Sodium acetate" ) (CH_3COoverset-Ooverset+Na)+ NH_3` `CH_3CN` tautomerises to give methyl isocyanide. `CH_3-C -= N hArr C overset(larr)= N -CH_3` |
