Primary amines can be prepared from nitriles by reduction with LiAlH4. The two-step sequence involves SN2 displacement of halide ion by cyanide ion followed by reduction, and yields a primary amine
with one more carbon than was present in the alkyl halide.
Draw curved arrows to show the movement of electrons in this step of the mechanism.
