Question

Alkyl cyanides react with grignard reagent

Answer 1

Answer:

Nitriles reacts with Grignard reagents/organolithium reagents to produce ketones. Strongly nucleophilic organometallic reagents add to the C≡Nbond in the same way to aldehydes and ketones. ... Nitriles are less reactive than aldehydes and ketones. That mechanism is an example of the reactive system type.
