Acetone cyanohydrin has long been utilized as an intermediate in the manufacture of methacrylate resins. Poten tially valuable as an organic intermediate in many fields—surface active agents, pharmaceuticals, plasticizers, insecticides—it is now available for application research in your own laboratories. Representative of the many interesting reactions of this nitrile are:
-H 2 0
->- CH2 = C(CH 3 )-CN
ACETYLATION (CH3)2C(OH)CN
