[PDF] acid catalyzed hydrolysis of nitriles

Acidic Hydrolysis of Nitriles Under acidic conditions, instead of getting an ammonium salt, carboxylic acid is formed. For example, Ethanenitrile on getting hydrolysed in hydrochloric acid gives ethanamide in the first step, while ethanoic acid and ammonium chloride in the second step.

  • What is acid catalyzed hydrolysis?

    In organic chemistry, acid hydrolysis is a hydrolysis process in which a protic acid is used to catalyze the cleavage of a chemical bond via a nucleophilic substitution reaction, with the addition of the elements of water (H2O).

  • What is the mechanism of hydrolysis of nitriles involves?

    The mechanism involves initial attack of the nucleophilic hydroxide on the electrophilic carbon. Proton transfer from the solvent (water) results in an intermediate that tautomerizes to the corresponding amide.

  • How can you make carboxylic acids by hydrolysis of nitriles?

    How can we convert nitrile into carboxylic acid? Nitriles get hydrolysed with water to yield corresponding carboxylic acid or salt. Nitrile is heated with dilute acid or alkali for reaction to occur. The end product will be a carboxylic acid, but its character may vary depending on the reaction conditions.
