From Aldehydes.— Aldehydes and ketones by the hydrogen cyanide reaction yield cyan-hydrine compounds which are nitriles of hydroxy acids. When such an hydroxy acid nitrile is treated with ammonia the hydroxyl group is replaced by the amino group forming the nitrile of the amino acid, the amino acid itself being obtained on hydrolysis of the nitrile. 

Methods derived from this fundamental process involve the condensation of one-, two- and three-carbon units such as amidines, amino-nitriles and carboxamides, which represent intermediate stages of the ammonia/hydrogen cyanide reaction. Pyrimidines or imidazoles are usually intermediates. ...
