Question:medium
The product B formed in the following reaction sequence is: $$ {C}_6{H}_5{CN} \xrightarrow{{HCl}} (A) \xrightarrow{{AgCN}} (B) $$
The product B formed in the following reaction sequence is: $$ {C}_6{H}_5{CN} \xrightarrow{{HCl}} (A) \xrightarrow{{AgCN}} (B) $$
Show Hint
For nucleophilic substitution reactions, always identify the intermediate and use the correct reagents for further transformations.

Show Solution
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Nucleophilic substitution characterizes this reaction sequence. An intermediate is generated in the initial reaction, which subsequently undergoes substitution with AgCN to yield the final product.
