Consider the data below to answer the following question(s). Cyanohydrins are important intermediates in the synthesis alpha - hydroxycarboxylic acids from ketones and aldehydes The nitrile functional group can be hydrolyzed by aqueous acid to yield a carboxylic acid. Nitriles can also be hydrolyzed to carboxylic acids using aqueous base. Unfortunately, when a cyanohydrin is treated with aqueous base the original carbonyl compound is isolated. Refer to Exhibit 19 - 2. Identify the electrophile in the reaction of benzaldehyde with hydrogen cyanide. ANSWER: POINTS: 1 What hybridized orbitals are responsible for the sigma bonds in HCN? ANSWER:
