cf. C. A., 7, 775. The crystalline metallic derivatives previously obtained by shaking cyanides of the alk. earths in H2O with AcCH2CO2Et, BzCH2CO2Et, and Ac2CH2 are not metallic derivatives of cyanohydrins as then supposed, but metallic salts of the diketones and ketonic esters. The Ca, Sr, Ba and Mg salts of AcCH2CO2Et were prepared and the constitution of the Ca salt of mandelonitrile, Ca[OCH(CN)Ph]2, was proven by its conversion into the Bz derivative, by shaking the Ca salt in Et2O with BzCl. o-Calcium chloromandelonitrile was obtained in 62% yield from CaO, HCN and o-ClC6H4CHO, light yellow powder. The calcium, strontium and magnesium salts of Ac2CH2 were obtained in the form of needles from alc. From P-MeC6H4CHO was obtained, in 63% yield, calcium p-methylmandelonsirile in the form of orange-yellow crystals, which gave an intense blue coloration with concentrate H2SO4. p-Calcium methoxymandelonitrile was prepared from anisaldehyde. The labile, crystalline compound obtained by Kohn (Monalsh., 20, 903) by the action of HCHO on Ca(CN)2, is shown to have the constitution Ca[OCH(CaOH)CN]2.AcH forms a similar compound, crystallization powder. KCN and AcH yielded alanine and α-iminodipropionic acid.
