N-Valeronitrile

For practice, the student should carry out both alkaUne (compare Section 111,83) and acid hydrolysis of acetonitrile, n-valeronitrile (n-butyl cyanide) and n-capronitrile (n-amyl cyanide).

WALLIG, M.A., GOULD, D.H., FETTMAN, M.J., Comparative toxicities of the naturally occuring nitrile l-cyano-3,4-epithiobutane and the synthetic nitrile n-valeronitrile in rats differences in target organs, metabolism and toxic mechanisms., Fd. Chem. Toxic., 1988,26, 149-157. 

Considering the great variety of the organic species studied (n-butyl alcohol, n-valeric-acid, n-valeraldehyde, n-butylamine, n-valeronitrile, 1-butylmercaptan, n-valeroylchloride, phenol, benzoic-acid, benzaldehyde, aniline, benzonitrile, thiophenol, benzoylchloride, 1-naphthol, 1-naphthoicacid, 1-naphthaldehyde, 1-naphthamine and 1-naphthoylchloride) and their high reactivity at a Pt surface and the presence of Cl ions the validity of these assumptions is very questionable. This view was clearly expressed by Wieckowski in his comment on Reference 4 ...
