Hey dear,
● Ethyl cyanide to 1-phenylpropanone -
Ethyl cyanide is treated with phenyl magnesium bromide to get 1-phenylpropanone.
CH3-CH2-CN + C6H5-MgBr --> CH3-CH2-C(NMgBr)-C6H5
CH3-CH2-C(NMgBr)-C6H5 + 3H2O --> CH3-CH2-CO-C6H5 + Mg(OH)2 + NH3 + HBr
# Extra information -
Compounds with general formula R-MgBr are called Grignard reagent.
Hope this helps you.
Thanks for asking questions.
