Aliphatic compound

In organic chemistry, hydrocarbons (compounds composed solely of carbon and hydrogen) are divided into two classes: aromatic compounds and aliphatic compounds (G. aleiphar, fat, oil).

See Cyanohydrin reaction and Aliphatic compound

Benzaldehyde

Benzaldehyde (C6H5CHO) is an organic compound consisting of a benzene ring with a formyl substituent.

See Cyanohydrin reaction and Benzaldehyde

Benzoin condensation

The benzoin addition is an addition reaction involving two aldehydes. Cyanohydrin reaction and benzoin condensation are addition reactions.

See Cyanohydrin reaction and Benzoin condensation

Benzoquinone

Benzoquinone (C6H4O2) is a quinone with a single benzene ring.

See Cyanohydrin reaction and Benzoquinone

Carbohydrate

A carbohydrate is a biomolecule consisting of carbon (C), hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) atoms, usually with a hydrogen–oxygen atom ratio of 2:1 (as in water) and thus with the empirical formula (where m may or may not be different from n), which does not mean the H has covalent bonds with O (for example with, H has a covalent bond with C but not with O).

See Cyanohydrin reaction and Carbohydrate

Carbonyl group

For organic chemistry, a carbonyl group is a functional group with the formula, composed of a carbon atom double-bonded to an oxygen atom, and it is divalent at the C atom.

See Cyanohydrin reaction and Carbonyl group

Catalysis

Catalysis is the increase in rate of a chemical reaction due to an added substance known as a catalyst.

See Cyanohydrin reaction and Catalysis

Crown ether

In organic chemistry, crown ethers are cyclic chemical compounds that consist of a ring containing several ether groups.

See Cyanohydrin reaction and Crown ether

Cyanide

In chemistry, cyanide is a chemical compound that contains a functional group.

See Cyanohydrin reaction and Cyanide

Cyanohydrin

In organic chemistry, a cyanohydrin or hydroxynitrile is a functional group found in organic compounds in which a cyano and a hydroxy group are attached to the same carbon atom. Cyanohydrin reaction and cyanohydrin are cyanohydrins.

See Cyanohydrin reaction and Cyanohydrin

Enantiomer

In chemistry, an enantiomer (/ɪˈnænti.əmər, ɛ-, -oʊ-/ ''ih-NAN-tee-ə-mər''; from Ancient Greek ἐναντίος (enantíos) 'opposite', and μέρος (méros) 'part') – also called optical isomer, antipode, or optical antipode – is one of two stereoisomers that are nonsuperposable onto their own mirror image.

Enantioselective synthesis

Enantioselective synthesis, also called asymmetric synthesis, is a form of chemical synthesis.

Formaldehyde

Formaldehyde (systematic name methanal) is an organic compound with the chemical formula and structure, more precisely.

Journal of the American Chemical Society

The Journal of the American Chemical Society (also known as JACS) is a weekly peer-reviewed scientific journal that was established in 1879 by the American Chemical Society.

Ligand

In coordination chemistry, a ligand is an ion or molecule with a functional group that binds to a central metal atom to form a coordination complex.

See Cyanohydrin reaction and Ligand

Nitrile

In organic chemistry, a nitrile is any organic compound that has a functional group.

See Cyanohydrin reaction and Nitrile

Nucleophilic addition

In organic chemistry, a nucleophilic addition (AN) reaction is an addition reaction where a chemical compound with an electrophilic double or triple bond reacts with a nucleophile, such that the double or triple bond is broken. Cyanohydrin reaction and nucleophilic addition are nucleophilic addition reactions.
