How will you convert hexanenitrile into 1-amino pentane?

Answer 1

On partial hydrolysis it gives hexaneamide which on further hoffman's bromamide gives 1aminopentane

Answer 2

To convert hexanenitrile into 1-aminopentane, first reduce the nitrile group (-CN) to an amine group (-NH2) using a reducing agent such as lithium aluminum hydride (LiAlH4) or hydrogen gas (H2) with a metal catalyst. Then, the resulting 1-aminohexane can be further reduced by one carbon unit through reductive amination or reductive alkylation to yield 1-aminopentane.
