Cyanohydrin

उत्तर
Aldehydes and ketones react with hydrogen cyanide (HCN) to yield cyanohydrins. This reaction occurs very slowly with pure HCN. Therefore, it is catalysed by a base and the generated cyanide ion (CN−) being a stronger nucleophile readily adds to carbonyl compounds to yield corresponding cyanohydrin.
\[\ce{HCN + O\overset{-}{H} <=> {_{\bullet}^{\bullet}}\overset{-}{C}N + H2O}\]
