FTP name this anion that reacts with alkyl halides to give nitriles and that can be released by almonds.
Reaction of it with an aromatic nitro compound results in formation of a carboxylic acid via the von Richter rearrangement. The silver salt of it promotes reactions at the more electronegative center in this molecule; that more electronegative center coordinates with high-spin iron-III in Prussian blue. It serves as a nucleophile in the Kiliani-Fischer synthesis that produces a sugar with one additional carbon, and in the Strecker synthesis for amino acid formation. In the cell, it binds to cytochrome c oxidase and disrupts the electron transport chain, as does the isoelectronic carbon monoxide.
