In organic chemistry, a cyanohydrin reaction is an organic reaction in which an aldehyde (−CH=O) or ketone (>C=O) reacts with a cyanide anion (N≡C −) or a nitrile (−C≡N) to form a cyanohydrin (>C(OH)C≡N). For example:

2023年1月23日 · Cyanohydrin reactions occurs when an aldehyde or ketone gets treated by a cyanide anion (such as HCN) or a nitrile forming a cyanohydrin product. This special reaction is a nucleophilic addition, where the nucleophilic CN - attacks the electrophilic carbonyl carbon on the ketone, following a protonation by HCN, thereby the cyanide anion being ...

2025年1月19日 · identify the cyanohydrin formed from the reaction of a given aldehyde or ketone with hydrogen cyanide. identify the aldehyde or ketone, the reagents, or both, needed to prepare a given cyanohydrin. write the detailed mechanism for the addition of hydrogen cyanide to an aldehyde or ketone.

2024年2月26日 · The addition of cyanide ion to the carbonyl group is another common reaction of aldehydes and ketones. The product of these reactions is a cyanohydrin. It works in a slightly basic conditions since the HNC itself does not dissociate much to produce the – CN nucleophile in enough concentration:

Cyanohydrins can be formed by the cyanohydrin reaction, which involves treating a ketone or an aldehyde with hydrogen cyanide (HCN) in the presence of excess amounts of sodium cyanide (NaCN) as a catalyst: [1] RR’C=O + HCN → RR’C(OH)CN

Cyanohydrins are formed when cyanide nucleophiles and carbonyl compounds like aldehydes and ketones react. A strong base, the cyanide ion, catalyzes cyanohydrin formation. The ions are generated from HCN under aqueous conditions.

A cyanohydrin reaction is an organic chemical reaction in which an aldehyde or ketone reacts with a cyanide anion or a nitrile to form a cyanohydrin. This nucleophilic addition is a reversible reaction but with aliphatic carbonyl compounds equilibrium is in favor of the reaction products.

La(OiPr) 3 catalyzes a reaction of oxime esters or acid anhydrides with cyanotrimethylsilane (Me 3 SiCN) to provide α-trimethylsilyloxydinitrile derivatives in excellent yields. The reaction seems to proceed through the formation of acyl cyanides as intermediates.

Cyanohydrin formation is a nucleophilic addition reaction that occurs between an aldehyde or ketone and hydrogen cyanide (HCN), resulting in the formation of a cyanohydrin product. This reaction is an important tool in organic chemistry for the synthesis of various compounds.
