  2. Cyanohydrin reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanohydrin_reaction

    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 ...

  3. Cyanohydrin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanohydrin

    The structure of a general cyanohydrin. In organic chemistry, a cyanohydrin or hydroxynitrile is a functional group found in organic compounds in which a cyano and a hydroxy group are attached to the same carbon atom. The general formula is R 2 C(OH)CN, where R is H, alkyl, or aryl.

  5. Cyanation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanation

    Cyanation of ketones or aldehydes yields the corresponding cyanohydrins, which can be done directly with the cyanide ion (the cyanohydrin reaction) or by using bisulfite, followed by displacement of sulfite: [3] [4] Cyanation of aldehyde with bisulfite. A related reaction is hydrocyanation, which installs the elements of H-CN.

  6. Kiliani–Fischer synthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiliani–Fischer_synthesis

    The Kiliani–Fischer synthesis, named for German chemists Heinrich Kiliani and Emil Fischer, is a method for synthesizing monosaccharides.It proceeds via synthesis and hydrolysis of a cyanohydrin, followed by reduction of the intermediate acid to the aldehyde, thus elongating the carbon chain of an aldose by one carbon atom while preserving stereochemistry on all the previously present chiral ...

  7. Strecker amino acid synthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strecker_amino_acid_synthesis

    The Strecker amino acid synthesis, also known simply as the Strecker synthesis, is a method for the synthesis of amino acids by the reaction of an aldehyde with cyanide in the presence of ammonia. The condensation reaction yields an α-aminonitrile, which is subsequently hydrolyzed to give the desired amino acid.

  8. 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]

  9. Fischer oxazole synthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fischer_oxazole_synthesis

    The cyanohydrin itself is derived from a separate aldehyde. The reactants of the oxazole synthesis itself, the cyanohydrin of an aldehyde and the other aldehyde itself, are usually present in equimolar amounts. [3] Both reactants usually have an aromatic group, which appear at specific positions on the resulting heterocycle. Fischer Oxazole ...
