Vedclass · Answer

(C) Nitriles $(R-C\equiv N)$ are reduced to primary amines $(R-CH_2-NH_2)$ using strong reducing agents.$1$. $	ext{LiAlH}_4$ (Lithium Aluminium Hydride) is a strong reducing agent that reduces nitriles to primary amines.$2$. $	ext{H}_2/	ext{Ni}$ (Catalytic hydrogenation) also reduces nitriles to primary amines.$3$. $	ext{Na(Hg)}/	ext{C}_2	ext{H}_5	ext{OH}$ is known as the Mendius reduction, which reduces nitriles to primary amines.$4$. $	ext{Sn} + 	ext{HCl}$ is primarily used for the reduction of nitro compounds to amines.$5$. $	ext{Br}_2/	ext{aq. NaOH}$ is used for the Hofmann Bromamide degradation of amides to primary amines with one carbon atom less.Therefore, the correct reagents are $A, C$, and $D$.
