Cyanide in the presence of acid 8.) Hydoxylamine 9.) Phenylhydrazine 10.) 2,4-nitrophenylhydrazine 11.) Ethanol and dry HCl 12.) Semicarbazide

Explanation / Answer

1.) Tollen's Reagent             = corresponding carboxylic acid

2.) CrO3/H2SO4                 = corresponding carboxylic acid

4.) Lithium aluminum hydride = alcohol

5.) Sodium borohydride       = alcohol

6.) Phenylmagnesium bromide then water = alcohol with phenyl derivative.

7.) Cyanide in the presence of acid   = Cyanohydrin

8.) Hydoxylamine   = oxime

9.) Phenylhydrazine   = Phenylhydrazone

10.) 2,4-nitrophenylhydrazine = corresponding hydrazone

12.) Semicarbazide = semicarbazone
