We give sufficient conditions for the simplicity of reduced amalgamated products of C*-algebras. We show that in some situations a minimal projection in a unital C*-algebra A is minimal in a free product A *-cB. We show that in certain situations if a minimal projection in A were minimal in a particular reduced free product of A and B then the reduced free product would be a simple C*-algebra which has finite and infinite projections.
