22. Although a mechanism to produce cyanohydrin is unclear at this stage, either of the following pathways may be involved: addition of cyanide ion to an intermediate aldehyde or direct cyanation of the acyl radical to produce acylcyanide followed by hydride reduction. Further investigation to obtain the cyanohydrin product as a major component is currently underway in our laboratory.
