(b)
Interpretation:
The complete and detailed mechanism for the given reaction is to be drawn, and the products are to be predicted.
Concept introduction:
When a ketone or an aldehyde is treated with aqueous hydrocyanic acid (HCN), the product is a cyanohydrin, in which an OH group and a cyano (CN) group are bonded to the same carbon atom. The reaction can be sped up by the addition of a small amount of either KCN or the strong base NaOH by increasing the concentration of
