Removal of cyanide from cassava in Nigeria. Cyanides are produced by certain bacteria, fungi, and algae.It is an antifeedant in a number of plants. Cyanides are found in substantial amounts in certain seeds and fruit stones, e.g., those of bitter almonds, apricots, apples, and peaches. [5]
Acetonitrile, often abbreviated MeCN (methyl cyanide), is the chemical compound with the formula CH 3 CN and structure H 3 C−C≡N. This colourless liquid is the simplest organic nitrile (hydrogen cyanide is a simpler nitrile, but the cyanide anion is not classed as organic). It is produced mainly as a byproduct of acrylonitrile manufacture.
Propionitrile, also known as ethyl cyanide and propanenitrile, is an organic compound with the formula CH 3 CH 2 CN. It is a simple aliphatic nitrile . The compound is a colourless, water-soluble liquid.
The structure of a nitrile: the functional group is highlighted blue. In organic chemistry, a nitrile is any organic compound that has a −C≡N functional group.The name of the compound is composed of a base, which includes the carbon of the −C≡N, suffixed with "nitrile", so for example CH 3 CH 2 C≡N is called "propionitrile" (or propanenitrile).

Formyl cyanide is a simple organic compound with the formula HCOCN and structure HC(=O)−C≡N. It is simultaneously a nitrile ( R−C≡N ) and an aldehyde ( R−CH=O ). Formyl cyanide is the simplest member of the acyl cyanide family.
Usually the substrate is an alkene and the product is a nitrile. The reaction proceeds via the oxidative addition of HCN to a low-valent metal complex to give a hydrido cyanide complex. Subsequent binding of the alkene gives the intermediate M(H)(CN)L n (alkene), which then undergoes migratory insertion to give an alkylmetal
Butyronitrile or butanenitrile or propyl cyanide, is a nitrile with the formula C 3 H 7 CN. This colorless liquid is miscible with most polar organic solvents. This colorless liquid is miscible with most polar organic solvents.
Pentanenitrile, valeronitrile or butyl cyanide is a nitrile with the formula C 4 H 9 CN. This can be written BuCN, with Bu representing an n-butyl (linear butyl group).
