A) Nitroethane
B) Nitroethane and ethyl nitrite
C) Ethyl nitrite
D) Ethane
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
\[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}Br+Ag-O-N=O\to \underset{\text{Nitro ethane}}{\mathop{{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}-N\,\,\,\,\searrow //\begin{matrix} O \\ O \\ \end{matrix}}}\,+AgBr\] \[Ag-O-N=O\] is a covalent compound. Therefore, attack of nucleophile occurs through Nitrogen atom. Hence, nitroethane is formed.
