Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To explain why cyclohexanone forms cyanohydrins in good yield while 2,2,6-trimethylcyclohexanone does not, we can analyze the reactions and the structural differences between the two compounds. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Reactivity of Cyclohexanone**: - Cyclohexanone (C6H10O) is a simple cyclic ketone with a carbonyl group (C=O) that is relatively accessible for nucleophilic attack. - When treated with cyanide ion (CN-), it undergoes nucleophilic addition to form a cyanohydrin. ...
