Chemical Information
FooDB Nameacetone cyanohydrin
DescriptionAcetone cyanohydrin, also known as 2-hydroxyisobutyronitrile or 2-methyllactonitrile, is a member of the class of compounds known as tertiary alcohols. Tertiary alcohols are compounds in which a hydroxy group, -OH, is attached to a saturated carbon atom R3COH (R not H ). Acetone cyanohydrin is soluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Acetone cyanohydrin can be found in a number of food items such as burdock, sweet marjoram, rice, and garland chrysanthemum, which makes acetone cyanohydrin a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. Acetone cyanohydrin is a non-carcinogenic (not listed by IARC) potentially toxic compound.
