Question:medium
Predict the major product $ P $ in the following sequence of reactions:
(i) HBr, benzoyl peroxide
(ii) KCN
(iii) Na(Hg), $C_{2}H_{5}OH$
Predict the major product $ P $ in the following sequence of reactions:
(i) HBr, benzoyl peroxide
(ii) KCN
(iii) Na(Hg), $C_{2}H_{5}OH$
Show Hint
In the presence of KCN, alkyl halides undergo nucleophilic substitution to form nitriles, which is a common reaction. The subsequent step does not affect the nitrile in this case.
