Cyanogenesis denotes a chemical defensive strategy where hydrogen cyanide (HCN, hydrocyanic or prussic acid) is produced, stored, and released toward an attacking enemy. The high toxicity and volatility of HCN requires both chemical stabilization for stor

(equation presented) When treated with KCN in DMSO at room temperature, acylals from aliphatic aldehydes gave the corresponding cyanohydrin esters in good to excellent yields. Acylals from aromatic aldehydes were less reactive and gave several byproducts in addition to fair yields of cyanohydrin under the same conditions. Trimethylsilyl cyanide mixed with titanium(IV) chloride afforded cyanohydrin esters in good to excellent yields from both aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes.

Pure cyanohydrin enantiomers (S)-1/(R)-1 and their O-acyl derivatives (R)-3/(S)-3 are obtained from three different lipase-catalyzed reactions: (i) enantioselective hydrolysis of aliphatic and aromatic racemic cyanohydrin esters 3, ii) enantioselective ac
