Product Information
Mandelonitrile, also known as alpha-acetoxyphenylacetonitrile, is a tetraketide containing four acetoxy groups. It can be prepared by the alkylation of mandelic acid with acetone or acetic anhydride in the presence of base. Mandelonitrile can be hydrolyzed to benzonitrile and its enantiopure form can be obtained by asymmetric synthesis. The amide and amination reactions are two methods for synthesizing mandelonitrile derivatives. Mandelonitrile has been isolated from various plants in the genus Acacia and other genera such as Glycyrrhiza
