1. CN Br 2. LiAlH4 3. H₂O NH2 2a 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. Arrow-pushing Instructions Br CEN: -C=N: Br
