Consider the reaction :

    CH3CH2CH2Br + NaCN  → CH3CH2CH2CN + NaBr

    This reaction will be the fastest in :

  • water
  • ethanol
  • methanol
  • N,N'-dimethylformamide (DMF)
  • Explanation:

    CH3—CH2—CH2—Br + NaCN → CH3—CH2—CH2—CN + NaBr

    This is a SN2 Reaction for which polar aprotic medium is suitable for faster rate of reaction.
