Preparation: from Nitriles
Nitriles can be converted into a wide variety of compounds through various chemical reactions. Here are some common examples: CH3CN + NH3 → CH3CONH2 C6H5CN + 4H → C6H5CH2NH2 CH3CH2CN + MgBr → CH3CH2COCH3 CH3CH2CN + NH3 → CH3CH2CONH2 CH3CN + CH3I → CH3CN=CH3 These are just a few examples of the many ways nitriles…
