  2. Cyanohydrin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanohydrin

    In the laboratory, this liquid serves as a source of HCN, which is inconveniently volatile. [4] Thus, acetone cyanohydrin can be used for the preparation of other cyanohydrins, for the transformation of HCN to Michael acceptors, and for the formylation of arenes. Treatment of this cyanohydrin with lithium hydride affords anhydrous lithium cyanide:

  3. 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]

  4. 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 ...

  5. 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 ...

  6. 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 ...

  7. Glycolonitrile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycolonitrile

    It is the simplest cyanohydrin and it is derived from formaldehyde. [3] It is a colourless liquid that dissolves in water and ether. Because glycolonitrile decomposes readily into formaldehyde and hydrogen cyanide , it is listed as an extremely hazardous substance .

  9. 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 ...
