Definition of Nitrele
Ni"trile (? or ?), n. [See Nitro-
.] (Chem.) Any one of a series of cyanogen compounds;
particularly, one of those cyanides of alcohol radicals which, by
boiling with acids or alkalies, produce a carboxyl acid, with the
elimination of the nitrogen as ammonia.
&fist; The nitriles are named with reference to the acids produced
by their decomposition, thus, hydrocyanic acid is formic
nitrile, and methyl cyanide is acetic nitrile.
