The product B formed in the following reaction sequence is: $$ {C}_6{H}_5{CN} \xrightarrow{{HCl}} (A) \xrightarrow{{AgCN}} (B) $$
Show Hint
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
This reaction sequence involves nucleophilic substitution.
The first reaction produces an intermediate which undergoes further substitution with AgCN to form the product.

Amines are usually formed from amides, imides, halides, nitro compounds, etc. They exhibit hydrogen bonding which influences their physical properties. In alkyl amines, a combination of electron releasing, steric and H-bonding factors influence the stability of the substituted ammonium cations in protic polar solvents and thus affect the basic nature of amines. Alkyl amines are found to be stronger bases than ammonia. Amines being basic in nature, react with acids to form salts. Aryldiazonium salts, undergo replacement of the diazonium group with a variety of nucleophiles to produce aryl halides, cyanides, phenols and arenes.
Why is the pK$_b$ value of aniline more than that of methylamine?
