CYANOACETAMIDE (for synthesis) (malonamide nitrile) is a product provided by Research-Lab Fine Chem Industries. Laboratory reagents are chemicals which are used in laboratories as a part of experimental procedures. These reagents can be important parts of chemical reactions, analytical reagents or starting material for the production of other materials.

This CYANOACETAMIDE is meant for synthesis and is of laboratory grade. This compound is an acetic amide with a nitrile functional group. It is soluble in water. Cyanoacetamide can be generated using chloroacetic acid via Kolbe nitrile synthesis, followed by Fischer esterification and ester aminolysis. While it is stable under general conditions, this reagent is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents. Cyanoacetamide has a variety of applications in chemical and biological sectors. This compound finds several applications in the synthesis of various organic derivatives. Cyanoacetamide has been utilized in spectrofluorometric methods, to determine the activity of antihistamine H1 receptor antagonistic drugs which include ebastine, cetirizine dihydrochloride and fexofenadine hydrochloride. It is additionally the starting reagent for vitamin B6 synthesis. This reagent is suitable for industrial synthesis of products and research applications.
