Question

When simple primary ethyl bromide securely reacts cleanly specifically with an alcoholic solution of silver nitrite ($AgNO_2$), what is the explicitly definitively major nitrogen-containing product?

Answer: D

💡 Solution & Explanation

Silver nitrite ($AgNO_2$) strongly strictly predominantly maintains covalent $Ag-O$ character. Consequently, the lone pair strictly localized on the nitrogen atom is completely uniquely available to actively aggressively cleanly execute a standard nucleophilic backside attack, explicitly definitively heavily smoothly forming nitroethane ($CH_3CH_2NO_2$).
