stephen reaction is used to prepare the aldehyde from nitriles and cyanide , 
the reduction of nitriles with stanous chloride and hydrogen chloride with ethyl acetate solvent produces imine intermediate. The hydrolysis of this intermediate with water gives the corresponding aldehyde.
example – methyl cyanide to acetaldehyde preparation . 
HOPE IT CLEARS YOUR DOUBT ,

THE MECHANISM OF THIS REACTION IS TOO IMPORTANT ..
