Question

How does c2h5cn reacts with H2/ Ni?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

NaBH4 will reduce an aldehyde, ketone, or acid chloride to the corresponding alcohol. It will not reduce an acid or an ester. ii. LiAlH4 will reduce an aldehyde, ketone, acid, or ester to the corresponding alcohol.

Answer 2

Answer:

The reduction of nitriles using hydrogen and a metal catalyst

The carbon-nitrogen triple bond in a nitrile can also be reduced by reaction with hydrogen gas in the presence of a variety of metal catalysts.

Commonly quoted catalysts are palladium, platinum or nickel.

The reaction will take place at a raised temperature and pressure. It is impossible to give exact details because it will vary from catalyst to catalyst.

For example, ethanenitrile can be reduced to ethylamine by reaction with hydrogen in the presence of a palladium catalyst.
