Laevarotatory describes the stereochemistry of the molecule, while mandelonitrile refers to its chemical identity
2.
The name is derived from the separate words " laevarotatory " and " mandelonitrile ".
3.
The enzyme vicianin beta-glucosidase uses ( " R " )-vicianin and H 2 O to produce mandelonitrile and vicianose.
4.
Like amygdalin, laetrile is hydrolyzed in the duodenum ( alkaline ) and in the intestine ( enzymatically ) to D-glucuronic acid and L-mandelonitrile; the latter hydrolyzes to benzaldehyde and hydrogen cyanide, that in sufficient quantities causes cyanide poisoning.
