Question

Convert ethyl chloride into ethyl cyanide

Answer 1

CH3-CH2-Cl react with KCN and give ethylcynide (CH3CH2CN) with KCl

Answer 2

Conversion of ethyl chloride into ethyl cyanide

• The given compound is ethyl chloride and its molecular formula is $CH_3CH_2Cl$.
• To obtain ethyl cyanide from the given compound it must be treated with a compound that can attach cyanide group to it.
• One such compound is potassium cyanide (KCN), which on reaction of ethyl chloride, attaches cyanide to it.
• During this process, the eliminated chlorine combines with potassium and leads to the formation of Potassium chloride and gets eliminated.
• The chemical equation involved in the reaction is as follows:

$\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{Cl}+\mathrm{KCN} \stackrel{-\mathrm{KCl}}{\longrightarrow} \mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{CN}$
