Description and Uses
Cyanoacetic acid is an organic compound. It is a white, hygroscopic solid. The compound contains two functional groups, a nitrile (C≡N) and a carboxylic acid. It is a precursor to cyanoacrylates, components of adhesives.
Cyanoacetic acid is used in pharmaceutical industry for producing vitamin B6 and caffeine. It is also used in making dyes, agricultural chemicals, and in the synthesis of phenylacetic acid esters. It acts as a precursor cyanoacrylates viz. ethyl cyanoacrylate.
Cyanoacetic acid was used in the synthesis of N-piperidine-cyanacetamide and N-morpholyl-cyanacetamide. It was also used in the preparation of a panchromatic dye for dye-sensitized solar cells.
