Identify the major product C formed in the following reaction sequence:
To solve this problem, we need to identify the major product C formed in the given reaction sequence.The sequence is:Let's analyze each step:1. The first step involves the reaction of 1-iodopropane with sodium cyanide (NaCN):• This is a nucleophilic substitution reaction where the iodide ion is replaced by the cyanide ion.• The product A is propanenitrile (CH_3-CH_2-CH_2-CN).2. The second step is the partial hydrolysis of propanenitrile:• Under basic conditions (OH^-), the nitrile group (-CN) is partially hydrolyzed to form a carboxylate ion.• The product B is propanoic acid (CH_3-CH_2-COOH).3. The third step is the Hofmann bromamide reaction:• Propanoic acid is treated with bromine and sodium hydroxide.• This reaction converts the carboxylic acid into an amine with one less carbon atom.• The product C is propylamine (CH_3-CH_2-CH_2-NH_2).Analyzing the options:• Option 1: Butanamide is incorrect as it has one more carbon than propylamine.• Option 2: α-Bromobutanoic acid is incorrect as it is not an amine.• Option 3: Propylamine is correct as it matches the product C.• Option 4: Butylamine is incorrect as it has one more carbon than propylamine.Therefore, the correct option is Option 3: Propylamine.
