affords adiponitrile, used in the synthesis of certain nylons:
:Hydrolysis with sulfuric acid gives acrylamide sulfate, . This salt can be converted to acrylamide and to methyl acrylate. Hydrogenation of acrylonitrile is one route to propionitrile. The reaction of acrylonitrile with protic nucleophiles is called cyanoethylation:
