39.
Convert propanenitrile into acetic propanoic
anhydride:
CH3-CH2-CN -->
CH3-CH2-CO-O-CO-CH3
Which sequence of reactions below, when done starting
with propanenitrile, will give the best yield of the desired
product?
A. KMnO4, then CH3-CO-Cl
B. H2O / H +, then
CH3-CO-OH
C. KMnO4, then
CH3-CO-OH
D. H2O / H +, then
CH3-CO-Cl
