  2. Acetone cyanohydrin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetone_cyanohydrin

    It is used as a surrogate in place of HCN, as illustrated by its use as a precursor to lithium cyanide: [8] (CH 3) 2 C(OH)CN + LiH → (CH 3) 2 CO + LiCN + H 2. In transhydrocyanation, an equivalent of HCN is transferred from acetone cyanohydrin to another acceptor, with acetone as byproduct. The transfer is an equilibrium process, initiated by ...

  3. Cyanohydrin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanohydrin

    Acetone cyanohydrin, (CH 3) 2 C(OH)CN is the cyanohydrin of acetone. It is generated as an intermediate in the industrial production of methyl methacrylate . [ 3 ] In the laboratory, this liquid serves as a source of HCN, which is inconveniently volatile. [ 4 ]

  4. Hydrocyanation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrocyanation

    In transhydrocyanation, an equivalent of HCN is transferred from a cyanohydrin, e.g. acetone cyanohydrin, to another HCN acceptor. The transfer is an equilibrium process, initiated by base. The reaction can be driven by trapping reactions or by the use of a superior HCN acceptor, such as an aldehyde. [6]

  7. Linamarin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linamarin

    Linamarin is a cyanogenic glucoside found in the leaves and roots of plants such as cassava, lima beans, and flax.It is a glucoside of acetone cyanohydrin.Upon exposure to enzymes and gut flora in the human intestine, linamarin and its methylated relative lotaustralin can decompose to the toxic chemical hydrogen cyanide; hence food uses of plants that contain significant quantities of ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C4H7NO

    The molecular formula C 4 H 7 NO (molar mass: 85.10 g/mol) may refer to: Acetone cyanohydrin (ACH) Methacrylamide; 2-Pyrrolidone; N-Vinylacetamide (NVA)

  9. Acetone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetone

    Acetone (2-propanone or dimethyl ketone) is an organic compound with the formula (CH 3) 2 CO. [22] It is the simplest and smallest ketone ( >C=O ). It is a colorless, highly volatile , and flammable liquid with a characteristic pungent odour, very reminiscent of the smell of pear drops .
