Nitrile reduction by LiAlH4

Nitriles, upon reaction with LiAlH4 can be converted to 1° amines.

Opon occurrence of this reaction, the hydride nucleophile attacks the electrophilic carbon in the nitrile to form an imine anion. Once stabilized by a Lewis acid-base complexation the imine salt can accept a second hydride to form a dianion.
