- Naturally occurring compounds called cyanogenic glycosides, such as lotaustralin, release hydrogen cyanide, HCN, when treated with aqueous acid. The reaction occurs by hydrolysis of the acetal linkage to form a cyanohydrin, which then expels HCN and gives a carbonyl compound. (a) Show the mechanism of the acetal hydrolysis and the structure of the cyanohydrin that results. (b) Propose a mechanism for the loss of HCN, and show the structure of the carbonyl compound that forms.arrow_forwardWhich products in Problem 20.28 will produce methyl cyclohexylmethanoate when treated with NaOCH3?arrow_forwardHydroxylamine, H2NOH, has both an OH functional group and an NH2 functional group, so it can feasibly undergo reaction with a ketone or an aldehyde to produce either an acetal or an imine-like compound called an oxime. (a) Draw each of these mechanisms for the reaction of hydroxylamine with acetone. (b) Which is the major product? Hint: Which step decides the outcome?arrow_forward
