In addition to the previous finding that the aliphatic amines react with the nitrite ion to form cyanide ion on distillation of a mixture in acidic condition, an interesting fact was found that glycine reacted with the nitrite ion even in a neutral phosphate buffer solution without heating to form a cyanide ion. This fact suggests the possibility that cyanide ion might be naturally produced in a polluted river water even in the absence of the source of a cyanide ion.
