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.

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.
