Abstract
A wide variety of carbonyl compounds can be transformed to their corresponding cyanohydrins in a single step using a dimethyl sulfoxide DMSO–water system in excellent yields 75–94 The major advantages of this system are that the reaction conditions are mild and neutral the reaction proceeds without catalyst and gives the corresponding cyanohydrins in short time 15–120 min
