Acid + Base Hydrolysis Of Nitrites * once the carboxylic acid form → react w/ excess NaOH → sodium salt 4> polar bonds
* RCN + 21-120 → 21001-1 1- Ntt H
* can be acid /base hydrolysed * Liberating carboxylic acid

CH ]C00Na + HCl → CH > COOH + Nacl

Acidic : healed under reflux w/ dilute HCl Saint weak strong wean

* produces good yield of acid .
