The Ritter reaction is especially valuable for the synthesis of 3 alkanamines. In fact, there are few alternative routes to them. This reaction is illustrated by the fi rst step in the following sequence. In the second step, the Ritter product is hydrolyzed to the amine. Ritter product OH H N9C9H NH2 2SO4 HCN H2O KOH O (a) Propose a mechanism for the Ritter reaction. (b) What is the product of a Ritter reaction using acetonitrile, CH3CN, instead of HCN followed by reduction of the Ritter product with lithium aluminum hydride?
