Mandelic acid is an
aromatic alpha hydroxy acid with the
molecular formula C6H5CH(OH)CO2H. It is a

- In
organic chemistry,
mandelonitrile is the
nitrile of
mandelic acid, or the
cyanohydrin derivative of benzaldehyde.
Small amounts of
mandelonitrile occur...

Notable AHAs
include glycolic acid,
lactic acid,
mandelic acid, and
citric acid. α-Hydroxy
acids are
stronger acids compared to their...

synthesis of
mandelic acid
starts with the
addition of
hydrocyanic acid to benzaldehyde: The
resulting cyanohydrin is
hydrolysed to
mandelic acid. (The...
