In this video, we look at the nucleophilic substitution of haloalkanes with ammonia and with cyanide ions. First I take you through the reaction with ammonia showing you how ammonia acts as a nucleophile. We then look at the reaction with cyanide.

This video is aimed at the UK A Level Chemistry specifications. Students studying International A Level Chemistry will need to check their specification.
