Cyanohydrins can be synthesised from ketones through:
- A
Nucleophilic addition reaction
- B
Unimolecular nucleophilic substitution reaction
- C
Electrophilic substitution reaction
- D
Bimolecular nucleophilic substitution reaction
- E
Nucleophilic elimination reaction
A cyanohydrin reaction is an organic chemical reaction by an aldehyde or ketone with a cyanide anion or a nitrile to form a cyanohydrin. This is a base-catalysed nucleophilic addition reaction.
Cyanohydrins are organic compounds containing a carbon atom linked to both a cyanide group(-CN) and a hydroxyl group(-OH). Hydrogen cyanide adds to aldehydes or ketones to form cyanohydrins in a base-catalysed nucleophilic addition reaction.
