Concept Introduction:
When sodium cyanide is allowed to react with alkyl halide, halide group is replaced by cyanide group via SN2 nucleophilic substitution reaction. The cyanide group on treatment with lithium aluminum hydride which is a strong reducing agent, it reduces the cyanide group into methylene primary amine. There is a single carbon skeleton increment in the given compound through this process.
