Give plausible
explanation for each of the following:



(i) Cyclohexanone forms cyanohydrin in good yield but 2, 2, 6
trimethylcyclohexanone does not.



(ii) There are two −NH2 groups in
semicarbazide. However, only one is involved in the formation of
semicarbazones.



(iii) During the preparation of esters from a carboxylic acid
and an alcohol in the presence of an acid catalyst, the water or the
ester should be removed as soon as it is formed.
