effect of highpressure is examined in Strecker reactions involving ketones, amines and trimethylsilyl cyanide. This effect is small when moderately hindered reactants are involved. However, in the case of aniline and N-methylaniline, the sensitivity of the reaction to pressure increases with increasing steric bulk of the alkyl groups of the ketone. The results confirm the merit of pressure activation
