Nitriles can be reduced by alkali metal amalgams, forming reactive radical intermediates. In the presence of a proton source, amines are produced (Cartolano, A. R. and Vedage, G. A. 2004. Amines by Reduction. Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology. (Online)).
Rapid polymerization of acrylonitrile can be initiated by free radicals, such as alkali or alkali earth metals (Bradzil, J. F. 2010. Acrylonitrile. Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology. (Online)).
