Answer:
No reaction would happen because such a reaction would involve the interaction of the HOMO (highest occupied molecular orbital) of one reaction partner with the LUMO (lowest unoccupied molecular orbital) of the other. The LUMO of an alkene has a nodal plane orthogonal to the C−C bond, while there is - obviously - no nodal plane but a σ bond between hydrogen and carbon in HCN .
