This is the answer to chapter 20, problem number 35 from the mcmurray organic chemistry textbook.
00:10
This problem asks us to convert butane nitrile into three different compounds.
00:18
Okay.
00:19
And so for a, we are trying to go from butane nitrile to one butanol.
00:27
And so in order to do that, we are going to start by going from.
00:33
From the nitrile to the carboxylic acid.
00:36
So we need to hydrolyze that nitrile.
00:39
And so we can use basic conditions to do that.
00:43
So sodium hydroxide and water is going to get us to the carboxylic acid.
00:53
And then we can just reduce that carboxylic acid using lithium aluminum hydride with an acidic workup.
01:09
And that is going to get us to one butanol.
01:15
Okay.
01:17
For part b, we are trying to go from butane nitrile to butillamine.
01:24
And so this can actually be done in a single step...
