    Acetonitriles on hydrolysis produce which of the following?

    A)  Amide

    B)  Acid

    C)  Amines               

    D)  Carbonyl compounds

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Acetonitriles on hydrolysis produce carboxylic acids with the evolution of ammonia \[\underset{Acetonitrile}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}-C\equiv N}}\,\xrightarrow{{{H}_{2}}O}\underset{Acetamide}{\mathop{C{{H}_{2}}-\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  O \\  \,\,|\,\,| \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,-N{{H}_{2}}}}\,\]                                 \[\underset{Acetic\,\,acid}{\mathop{\xrightarrow{{{H}_{2}}O}C{{H}_{3}}-\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  O \\  \,\,|\,\,| \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,-OH+N{{H}_{3}}}}\,\]
