The present invention relates to a method for converting hydrocarbon compounds having at least one nitrile function into compounds having at least one carboxylic function, and to a method for obtaining ester compounds from the carboxylic compounds thus obtained. The invention provides a method for converting compounds having at least one nitrile function into compounds having at least one carboxylic function, which comprises hydrating the nitrile functions with amide function by reaction with water in the presence of a strong inorganic acid, and hydrolysing the amide functions into carboxylic functions y reaction with water and a strong inorganic acid. The carboxylic compounds thus obtained can then be esterified into diesters. The latter can advantageously be used as a solvent.
