A new functional group!Nitriles are hydrocarbons which contain the C≡N group

Signified by R-CNUse suffix “nitrile” Soluble in water

Reduction

A reduction reaction involves increasing bonds to hydrogen Note that when you react with a nitriles, you increase the number carbons by one

Synthesis of AminesAmines are created by reacting haloalkane with ammonia:

R-X + NH3 → R-NH2 + HX

Problem! This reaction doesn’t stop with the primary amine...it keeps goingFor this reason, it is not the favoured method for making amines
