Question
Write a chemical reaction to convert glucose into glucose cyanohydrin.
Solution
Glucose forms cyanohydrin on reaction with hydrogen cyanide:
\[\begin{array}{cc}
\phantom{...........}\ce{CN}\\
\phantom{.........}|\\
\phantom{}\ce{CHO}\phantom{..........}\ce{CHOH}\phantom{..}\\
\phantom{}|\phantom{...............}|\phantom{.......}\\
\phantom{}\ce{(CHOH)4 ->[HCN] (CHOH)4}\phantom{}\\
\phantom{}|\phantom{...............}|\phantom{.......}\\
\phantom{..........}\ce{\underset{\text{Glucose}}{CH2OH} \phantom{....}\underset{\text{Glucose cyanohydrin}}{CH2OH}}\phantom{........}
\end{array}\]
