    Consider the reaction
    ``\ce {CH3CH2CH2Br + NaCN \rightarrow CH3CH2CH2CN + NaBr}``
    This reaction will be the fastest in
    (1) N,N'-dimethylformamide (DMF)
    (2) water
    (3) ethanol
    (4) methanol
    digAnsr:   1
    Ans : (1)
    Sol. CH3-CH2-CH2Br + NaCN ï‚®CH3CH2CH2CN+
    NaBr
    This reaction follows by SN2 path, which is favoured
    by polar aprotic solvents like DMF, DMSO, etc.
