RC = N->[LiAIH4][or H2 /Raney Ni] R- CH2 NH2

Q. To convert a nitrile to a primary amine we must

oxidise it with chromic acid

hydrolysed with water

reduce it with hydrogen or $L i A l H_{4}$

substinite it with an alkyl halide

$RC = N LiAIH X_{4} or H X_{2} / Raney Ni R X^{-} CH X_{2} NH X_{2}$
