Cyanohydrins are organic compounds having the formula RR“²C(OH)CN, where R and R“² can be alkyl or aryl groups.
Aldehydes and ketones react with hydrogen cyanide (HCN) in the presence of excess sodium cyanide (NaCN) as a catalyst to field cyanohydrin. These reactions are known as cyanohydrin reactions.
Cyanohydrins are useful synthetic intermediates
