Consider the following sequence of reactions CH₃CH₂CHO → (KCN / H₂SO₄) → A → (1. LiAlH₄ 2. H₂O) → B
1.CH₃CH₂CH(OH)COOH 2.CH₃CH₂CH(OH)CN 3.CH₃CH₂CH(OH)CH₂NH₂ 4.CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₂NH₂ Correct answer:(3) Cyanohydrin becomes amino alcohol When carbonyl compounds react with HCN to form corresponding cyanohydrins. When these cyanohydrines are reducing with strong reducing agents like Lithium aluminium hydride to form amino alcohols. ALDEHYDES react with HCN It is a Nucleophilic addition reaction When propionaldehyde react with HCN to form propionaldehyde […]
