    Ethyl chloride on heating with silver cyanide forms a compound X. The functional isomer of X is [EAMCET 1997; KCET 2005]

    A) \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}NC\]

    B) \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}CN\]

    C) \[{{H}_{3}}C-NH-C{{H}_{3}}\]

    D) \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}N{{H}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

               \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}Cl+AgCN\to \underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  \text{Ethyl}\,\,\text{isocyanide} \\  \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\text{(X)} \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}-N\vec{=}\,C}}\,+AgCl\] The functional isomer of ethyl isocyanide is ethyl cyanide \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}-C\equiv N\].
