How alkyl nitriles convert on carboxylic acid

Answers

Answered by manvanthwolf

Answer:

The nitrile is heated under reflux with dilute hydrochloric acid. Instead of getting an ammonium salt as you would do if the reaction only involved water, you produce the free carboxylic acid. For example, with ethanenitrile and hydrochloric acid you would get ethanoic acid and ammonium chloride.
