Question:
What is the intermediate in the following reaction?
RCN + SnCl$_2$ + HCl $\longrightarrow$ RCHO
What is the intermediate in the following reaction?
RCN + SnCl$_2$ + HCl $\longrightarrow$ RCHO
RCN + SnCl$_2$ + HCl $\longrightarrow$ RCHO
Show Hint
When nitriles are reduced to aldehydes using mild reducing agents, the intermediate is usually an imine.

- Amine
- Imine
- Ammonium ion
- Ammonia
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
The reduction of nitrile (RCN) with SnCl$_2$/HCl proceeds through the formation of an imine intermediate.
The imine is subsequently hydrolyzed to give the corresponding aldehyde (RCHO).
The imine is subsequently hydrolyzed to give the corresponding aldehyde (RCHO).
