Cyanoacetic acid by Research Lab Fine Chem Industries is a high grade reagent. Also known as 2-cyanoacetic acid, this is a compound with nitrile and a carboxylic acid functional groups. The reagent is available as a powder which is soluble in water. it has a melting point of 69-70 C and a boiling point at 108 C. Cyanoacetic acid can be obtained from the treatment of chloroacetate salts with sodium cyanide followed by acidification. While it is stable under general conditions, this reagent is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents. CAS No.: 372-09-8 Quantity Provided: 250 gm per bottle Molecular formula: C3H3NO2 molecular weight: 85.06 Assay: 98 %Cyanoacetic acid has a variety of applications in chemical and biological sectors. This compound finds several applications in the synthesis of various organic derivatives. Cyanoacetic acid majorly undergoes esterification to yield the corresponding ester, ethyl cyanoacetate. This product is then transformed to ethyl cyanoacrylate, which is used as superglue. Cyanoacetic acid is also a precursor to synthetic caffeine via the intermediary, theophylline. Many drugs including dextromethorphan, amiloride, sulfadimethoxine, and allopurinol can be obtained using this reagent. reagent is suitable for industrial synthesis of products and research applications.
