- \(\text{RCONH}_2\)
- \(\text{RCOONH}_4\)
- \(\text{RCH}_2\text{NH}_2\)
- \(\text{R}(\text{CH}_2)_3\text{NH}_2\)
Show Solution
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Add 4 hydrogens
The nitrile triple bond takes four H atoms in total: $\text{RCN}+4[\text{H}]\to\text{RCH}_2\text{NH}_2$. Option (C).
Final Answer:
Option (C). \[ \boxed{\text{(C)}} \]
