  2. Sodium cyanide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_cyanide

    NaCN + H + → HCN + Na + Because the salt is derived from a weak acid, sodium cyanide readily reverts to HCN by hydrolysis; the moist solid emits small amounts of hydrogen cyanide, which is thought to smell like bitter almonds (not everyone can smell it—the ability thereof is due to a genetic trait [7]). Sodium cyanide reacts rapidly with ...

  3. Non-nucleophilic base - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-nucleophilic_base

    2,6-Di-tert-butylpyridine, a weak non-nucleophilic base [2] pK a = 3.58; Phosphazene bases, such as t-Bu-P 4 [3] Non-nucleophilic bases of high strength are usually anions. For these species, the pK a s of the conjugate acids are around 35–40. Lithium diisopropylamide (LDA), pK a = 36

  4. Cyanohydrin reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanohydrin_reaction

    The cyanide source can be potassium cyanide (KCN), sodium cyanide (NaCN) or trimethylsilyl cyanide ((CH 3) 3 SiCN). With aromatic aldehydes such as benzaldehyde, the benzoin condensation is a competing reaction. The reaction is used in carbohydrate chemistry as a chain extension method for example that of D-xylose.

  5. Nucleophile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleophile

    A hydroxide ion acting as a nucleophile in an S N 2 reaction, converting a haloalkane into an alcohol. In chemistry, a nucleophile is a chemical species that forms bonds by donating an electron pair. All molecules and ions with a free pair of electrons or at least one pi bond can act as nucleophiles. Because nucleophiles donate electrons, they ...

  6. Nucleophilic substitution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleophilic_substitution

    The nucleophile may be electrically neutral or negatively charged, whereas the substrate is typically neutral or positively charged. An example of nucleophilic substitution is the hydrolysis of an alkyl bromide , R-Br under basic conditions, where the attacking nucleophile is hydroxyl ( OH − ) and the leaving group is bromide ( Br − ).
