    Cyanohydrin can easily be prepared from:

    A)  \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}-{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}\]  

    B)         \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}COOH\]

    C)         \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}N{{H}_{2}}\]      

    D)         \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}CO{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Cyanohydrins are prepared by the addition of HCN to carbonyl compound (aldehydes and ketones). \[\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  {{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}} \\  \text{Pentanone} \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{\underset{|}{\mathop{{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}C-C=O+HCN}}\,}}\,\xrightarrow{{}}\underset{\text{Pentanone}\,\text{cyanohydrin}}{\mathop{\underset{CN}{\overset{{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}}{\mathop{\underset{|}{\overset{|}{\mathop{{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}-C-OH}}}\,}}}\,}}\,\]
