Pinner's reaction is a chemical reaction involving nitrile and alcohol catalyzed by an acid, such as hydrochloric acid. The product is the salt formed of HCl with an ester of an alkyl or an alkyl of alkyl, sometimes called Pinner salt. The reaction takes its name from its discoverer, Adolf Pinner, and is a series of nucleophilic additions.
The salts obtained can react with excess alcohol by forming the RC (OR) 3 orthoester, with ammonia or an amine to form an amine or water to form an ester.
IUPAC name of transformation: Alkoxy, oxo-de-nitrilo-tersubstitution. This reaction is also called nitrile alcoholism. Notemodify wikitesto
