Question
Chapter 15.2, Problem 15.1CIAP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The cyanohydrins transformation should draw and identified expected to be formed when HCN is added to compounds (a) and (b) in problem 15.4.
Concept Introduction:
Nucleophiles: A nucleophile is a more reactant species that affords a pair of electrons to the electrophile or electrophilic center and forms a new covalent bond. The carbon or other hetero atom in a molecule which is bearing negative charge or lone pair of electron is called as nucleophiles.
Nucleophilic reaction: electron rich nucleophiles attack the positive or partially positive charge of an atom and replace a leaving group is called Nucleophilic Substitution reaction.

Gentiobiose has the molecular formula C12H22O11 and has been isolated from gentian root and by hydrolysis of amygdalin. Gentiobiose exists in two different forms, one melting at 86°C and the other at 190°C. The lower melting form is dextrorotatory ([α] 16°), the higher melting one is levorotatory ([α] -6°). The rotation of an aqueous solution of either form, however, gradually changes until a final value of [α] 9.6° is observed. Hydrolysis of gentiobiose is efficiently catalyzed by emulsin and produces two moles of D-glucose per mole of gentiobiose. Gentiobiose forms an octamethylether, which on hydrolysis in dilute acid yields 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-methyl-D-glucose and 2,3,4-tri-O-methyl-D-glucose. What is the structure of gentiobiose?
