Nitriles used to be known as cyanides; the smallest organic nitrile is ethanenitrile, CH3CN, (old name: methyl cyanide or acetonitrile – and sometimes now called ethanonitrile). 105-34-0, formula is C4H5NO2, Name is Methyl 2-cyanoacetate. Nitriles are found in many useful compounds, including methyl cyanoacrylate, used in super glue, and nitrile rubber, a nitrile-containing polymer used in latex-free laboratory and medical gloves. Recommanded Product: Methyl 2-cyanoacetate.
Gong, Ming;Huang, Mengmeng;Li, Yabo;Zhang, Jianye;Kim, Jung Keun;Kim, Jong Seung;Wu, Yangjie research published 《 Harnessing visible-light energy for unbiased organic photoelectrocatalysis: synthesis of N-bearing fused rings》, the research content is summarized as follows. In this research, the conversion of visible light to elec. energy and C-H activation by the synergistic catalytic effect of visible-light and photoelec. current is reported. An atom-economical and environment-friendly self-biasing interfacial photo-electrocatalytic method for cascade C-H activation/cyclization is provided to construct N-containing fused ring compounds using an m-BiVO4 film as a photoanode. There are obvious advantages of this transformation due to no external bias and a small overpotential, saving elec. energy and avoiding excessive oxidation of malononitrile to achieve better chem. reactivity and selectivity. Meanwhile, the recovered photoanode could be used more than ten times.
Recommanded Product: Methyl 2-cyanoacetate, Methyl cyanoacetate is an alkyl cyanoacetate ester.
Methyl cyanoacetate is the intermediate product in pharmaceutical organic synthesis as well as in the synthesis of some biologically active compounds used in agriculture. It undergoes calcite or fluorite catalyzed Knövenagel condensation with aromatic aldehydes, giving the corresponding arylidenemalononitriles and (E)-α -cyanocinnamic esters.
Methyl Cyanoacetate is often used as a nucleophile in the electrochemical oxidation of catechols. Methyl Cyanoacetate is also a reagent in the synthesis of Methyl 2-Amino-4-trifluoromethylthiophene-3-carboxylate (M287290); a compound used in the synthesis of DPP-IV inhibitors for treating type 2 diabetes., 105-34-0.
