In the AS flow chart. There's either a mistake or I'm mistaken. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
After the aldehyde is added to cyanide and that ethan-1-olnitrile? is
formed, it is then reduced and the CN group becomes a CH2NH2. Shouldn't it just be NH2?

After 4 years :LOL:
CN the cyanide is a good way adding a carbon in a hydrocarbon chain. So if you see cyanide, a carbon is present, so it is added to the chain, creating CH2NH2.
I hope i haven't made any mistake.
Thank you.
