Q. Aromatic aldehydes in the presence of cyanide ion are convened to acyloins. This reactionis called

Aldehydes Ketones and Carboxylic Acids

Solution:

$\underset{(\text{Aromatic aldehyde)}}{C_6H_5- {\overset{\underset{||}{O}}{C}}}- C_6H_5\xrightarrow{KCN(alc.)} $
$\underset{(\text{Acyloin})}{C_6H_5- \overset{\underset{|}{OH}}{C}H - \overset{\underset{||}{O}}{C} - C_6H_5}$
