Question

Propionitrile on reduction with $LiAl{H}_4$ will give:

• A. propanamine
• B. ethanamine
• C. methanamine
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A propanamine

Nitriles on reduction with $LiAl{H}_4$ gives primary amine. Hence, the correct answer is option (a).
$\underset{\text{Propionitrile}}{C{H}_{3}C{H}_{2}CN}\underset{}{\overset{LiAl{H}_4}{\to }}\underset{\text{propanamine}}{C{H}_{3}C{H}_{2}C{H}_{2}N{H}_2}$
