Hi,
I am an organic chemistry teacher overseas: in a french speaking area, actually.
I think you’re doing a great job with this site.

Does grignard reagent react with HCN to yield a aldehyde??

I am graduate student in organic chemistry, and I think that your website is quite useful for when I am planning a synthesis or I if I am looking for info a reaction I am little rusty on.
