A) acetone
B) acetic acid
C) acetaldehyde cyanohydrin
D) None of the above
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
\[\underset{acetaldehyde}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}-\underset{\begin{smallmatrix} | \\ H \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,=O}}\,+HCN\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}\underset{\begin{smallmatrix} acetaldehyde \\ cyanohydrin \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}-\underset{\begin{smallmatrix} | \\ CN \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{CH}}\,-OH}}\,\] This is nucleophilic addition reaction.You need to login to perform this action.
