Answer:
Concept:
The manufacture of methyl methacrylate, the monomer of the translucent plastic polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), popularly known as acrylic, uses acetone cyanohydrin (ACH), an organic substance. Because it quickly releases hydrogen cyanide, it is employed as a source of that chemical. Because of this, this cyanohydrin is also extremely poisonous. In order to avoid having to produce and store huge quantities of the reagent due to its high toxicity, a lab scale synthesis method employing microreactor-scale flow chemistry has been devised. Alternately, a streamlined process uses the reaction of sodium or potassium cyanide with the sodium bisulfite adduct of acetone created in situ. Although the resulting product is less pure, it is still appropriate for the majority of syntheses.
Explanation:
- Over the C=O double bond, a molecule of HCN is added. A new chemical is produced when acetone and HCN react.
- Crossing the double bond C=O, an HCN molecule is added.
- Acetone cyanohydrin, a nucleophilic addition product, is what results from the reaction of acetone with HCN.
- Depending on the reactant employed, the result has a preference for oxidation as well as reduction.
