Give the major organic product for the reaction. B)BrCH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂CH CH₂ D)BrCH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂Br

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The reaction involves a nucleophilic substitution reaction of 1-bromobutane with NaCN in DMF solvent. This leads to the formation of nitrile as the major organic product. Option A and E can be ruled out as they show a different product altogether. Option B and D show the addition of an extra bromine atom, which is not expected in this reaction. Therefore, the correct answer is option C which shows the formation of 1-cyanobutane.
