Cyanohydrin Synthesis

A cyanohydrin is a chemical compound containing a nitrile (-CN) group and a hydroxyl (-OH) group. Cyanohydrins are important intermediates in organic synthesis. Cyanohydrin synthesis typically involves the addition of hydrogen cyanide (HCN) or other cyanide sources to a carbonyl compound (e.g., a ketone or aldehyde) in the presence of a catalyst.
