$R-C \equiv N + 2[H]$ $\xrightarrow{SnCl_2/	ext{dil. } HCl} R-CH=NH \cdot HCl$ $\xrightarrow{H_3O^+} R-CHO + NH_4Cl$

Vedclass · Answer

(D) The Stephen reaction involves the reduction of nitriles $(R-C \equiv N)$ to imines using stannous chloride $(SnCl_2)$ in the presence of hydrochloric acid $(HCl)$,followed by hydrolysis to yield aldehydes $(R-CHO)$.Option $(D)$ represents the correct chemical equation for the Stephen reaction:$R-C \equiv N + 2[H]$ $\xrightarrow{SnCl_2/	ext{dil. } HCl} R-CH=NH \cdot HCl$ $\xrightarrow{H_3O^+} R-CHO + NH_4Cl$
