Can CH3COOH react with CN- (cyanide ion) to form CH3COCN

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 12-07-14] [Hit: ]
....since HCN is a stronger acid than H2O so the conjugate base CN- will be weaker than OH- ........
I know CH3COCl reacts with CN- to form CH3COCN , but I am not sure about CH3COOH .

Thanks for helping

no because OH- is a poor living group as it is a strong base ......

since HCN is a stronger acid than H2O so the conjugate base CN- will be weaker than OH- ...

in contrast Cl- is a good living group because HCl is a stronger acid than HCN ...

feel free to ask any question
