Question:medium

Consider the following reaction sequence given below: \[ CH_3CH_2Br \xrightarrow[(ii)\ H_2O]{(i)\ A} X \xrightarrow{B} C_6H_5CH_2CH_2OH \] Identify the pair of sets from the following in which A and B are present in order: I. AgCN ; \(H_2/Pt\) II. AgCN ; \(LiAlH_4,H_2O\) III. KCN ; \(LiAlH_4,H_2O\) IV. KCN ; \(B_2H_6\)

Show Hint

KCN forms nitriles (R-CN) whereas AgCN predominantly forms isocyanides (R-NC). This is a frequently asked distinction.
