Question

Identify B in the following reaction,

\[\ce{Acetaldoxime ->[Na][alcohol] A ->[NaNO2][HCl] B + H2O + N2\uparrow}\]

Options

• CH₃CH₂CH₂OH

• C₂H₅OH

• C₂H₅Cl

• C₂H₅NH₂

Answer 1

C₂H₅OH

Explanation:

\[\begin{array}{cc}
\ce{H}\phantom{....................................................................}\\
|\phantom{....................................................................}\\
\ce{\underset{\text{Acetaldoxlme}}{H3C - C = N}-OH ->[Na][Alcohol] \underset{\text{Ethanamlne 'A'}}{H3C - CH2 - NH2} ->[NaNO2][HCl] \underset{\text{Ethanol 'B'}}{CH3 - CH2 - OH} + H2O + N2}
\end{array}\]
