When the three benzaldehydes shown below were exposed to HCN under identical
conditions it was found that the equilibrium constants, K, for the three cyanohydrin formation
reactions were different. Based on principles that govern equilibrium processes for reversible
carbonyl addition reactions, place the K values for the three reactions in ascending order
(smallest to largest). Briefly justify your answer. (Hint: Recall that electron deficient carbonyls tend
to react faster with nucleophiles and have larger equilibrium constants for the addition reaction.)

5A
Explain which of the following statements are true and which are false.
i. N,N'-dicyclohexylurea (DCU) is the dehydrating reagent that converts a
carboxylic acid to the corresponding anhydride.
ii. The fact that carbonyl compounds have a lower boiling point than
alcohols with the same C atoms is because the molecular dipole moment of
carbonyl compounds is less than that of alcohols.
iii. 3-Methylbut-2-en-2-ol is the only tautomeric structure of 3-
methylbutan-2-one.
