Reaction of carboxaldehyde 1 with acetone cyanohydrin gives carboxylic acid 2. Reaction of 1 with acetone cyanohydrin in methanol affords the methyl ester 3. The structural assignment for 2 is supported by 13 C nmr data and by the decarboxylation of deuterated 2 to give 4b. The internal oxidation‐reduction upon going from 1 to 2 is explained in terms of a mechanism whereby 1 is converted into its cyanohydrin 5 and then to acyl cyanide 6. Acyl cyanide 6 then reacts with either water or methanol to give 2 or 3.
