ο When cyclohexanone is heated in the presence of a large amount of acetone cyanohydrin and a small amount of base, cyclohexanone cyanohydrin and acetone are formed. On a sheet of paper, write a mechanism for this reaction. Then, in the window below, draw the first intermediate in your mechanism. 8. OH H₂C H3C CN HO CN + 0 CH3CCH3 • You do not have to consider stereochemistry. •You do not have to explicitly draw H atoms. • Do not include lone pairs in your answer. They will not be considered in the grading. • Do not include counter-ions, e.g., Na+, I, in your answer. • In cases where there is more than one answer, just draw one. + √n [] ?
