ChEBI: A cyanohydrin in which the substituents on the alpha carbon are ethyl and methyl. | [Synthesis]
The primary method for synthesizing 2-hydroxy-2-methylbutanenitrile is the cyanohydrin reaction, which involves the nucleophilic addition of a cyanide anion to the carbonyl carbon of 2-butanone.
This reaction involves the addition of hydrogen cyanide (HCN) across the carbon-oxygen double bond of 2-butanone. Due to the extreme toxicity of HCN gas, it is commonly generated in situ by reacting a cyanide salt, such as sodium cyanide (NaCN) or potassium. |
