A bit of help with some reactions
« on: May 13, 2014, 12:37:54 AM »
So, I start with Benzaldehyde + HCN :rarrow: ? +NH3  :rarrow: ? +H2O /H+  :rarrow: ?
So far i did C6H5COH + HCN  :rarrow: C6H5CH(OH)CN + NH3  :rarrow: ?
Is it correct? And how does it go from this point? Please help and thanks in advance.
