Answer:

The mechanism for the addition of HCN to propanone

The product formed is Cyanohydrin.

  • The hydrogen cyanide will dissociate as hydrogen and cyanide. This cyanide is a nucleophile.
  • The reaction in which HCN along with propanone will result in the production of cyanohydrin.
  • This reaction is an example of an addition reaction.
  • The bonds that are formed between the reactions are said to be heterolytic in nature.
  • The CN ion will bound to the carboxyl group, the electrons will be transferred to the oxygen, etc.
