Vedclass · Answer

(C) The reaction involves the nucleophilic addition of cyanide to an aldehyde,catalyzed by a base like $NaOH$. $1$. The first step is the formation of a cyanohydrin: $R-CHO + HCN \xrightarrow{NaOH} R-CH(OH)CN$. $2$. The second step is the reduction of the nitrile group $(-CN)$ to a primary amine $(-CH_2NH_2)$ using a strong reducing agent like $LiAlH_4$. $3$. Thus,$X$ is $NaOH$ and the final product $Y$ is $CH_3CH_2CH(CH_3)CH(OH)CH_2NH_2$.

$I. HNO_3$	$II. NH_2NH_2 / OH^-$
$III. 2[Ag(NH_3)_2]^+$	$IV. NaOH$
