Each compound has different characteristics, and only by selecting the characteristics of the compound suitable for a specific situation can the compound be applied on a large scale. 6011-14-9, name is 2-Aminoacetonitrile hydrochloride, This compound has unique chemical properties. The synthetic route is as follows., 6011-14-9

General procedure: 2-Aminoacetonitrile hydrochloride 2 (7.0 mmol) and sodium acetate (8.0 mmol) were dissolved in 35 mL of methanol. Aldehyde 1 (7.0 mmol) was added to the grey solution, and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature. A solid suspension was formed after a few minutes (for compounds 3a, 3c, 3f and 3g). The suspension was stirred for 2 h and the solid filtered and washed with cold methanol, leading to the pure product 3. A second crop was isolated from the mother liquor after complete removal of methanol in the rotary evaporator, addition of dichloromethane (40 mL) and dry flash chromatography of the solution using dichloromethane (4¡Á10 mL) as eluent. The solution was concentrated in the rotary evaporator and the yellow oil was kept at 0 C leading to the product 3 that was filtered and washed with cold diethyl ether. For compounds 3b, 3d, 3e and 3h-k, the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 h. The solvent was removed in the rotary evaporator and dichloromethane (40 mL) was added to the mixture. Dry flash chromatography of this mixture was performed using 20 mL of dichloromethane as eluent. The solvent was removed in the rotary evaporator leading to a solid product. Cold diethyl ether was added to the suspension, kept for a few minutes in an ice bath. The solid was filtered and washed with cold diethyl ether, leading to the pure (arylideneamino)acetonitrile 3.
