Reaction of alkyl halide with KCN yields alkane nitrile while reaction of alkyle halide with AgCN yield isocynide. Explain why?

Question

shashank · Answer

this ques is in ncert. Being a covalent compound only N atom is available for attack when agcn is used. And in KCN both are available for attack due to ionic character but only carbon atom wil attack because charge on N atom is more stable than charge on C atom. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​
