Carboxylic acids can be made by the hydrolysis of nitriles


Carboxylic acids can be made by the hydrolysis of nitriles, which in turn can be made from an alkyl halide. Draw the structures of a starting alkyl bromide and the intermediate nitrile that would be used in the synthesis of phenylacetic acid. Do not show free ions.

alkyl bromide ? ----NaCN---> Nitrile ? ---6M HCI H2O HEat-----> forms phenylacetic acid
