In the following script, I would like to see the time in the new file file1. But I am seeing ${timekey). Please let me know what to do.

d=`/usr/local/bin/cprevdate +2 | cut -f1 -d" "`
timekey=`ltime $d 000000`
sed 's/^/${timekey},/' file > file1

thanks in advance

Try something like this:
sed "s/^/${timekey},/" file > file1
