Industrially, the main methods for producing nitriles are ammoxidation and hydrocyanation. 105-34-0, formula is C4H5NO2, Name is Methyl 2-cyanoacetate. Both routes are green in the sense that they do not generate stoichiometric amounts of salts. Recommanded Product: Methyl 2-cyanoacetate.
Plakas, Konstantinos;Kalogirou, Andreas S.;Kourtellaris, Andreas;Koutentis, Panayiotis A. research published 《 Reaction of 4,5-Dichloro-1,2,3-dithiazolium Chloride with 2-(Phenylsulfonyl)acetonitrile》, the research content is summarized as follows. The reaction of 4,5-dichloro-1,2,3-dithiazolium chloride with nitriles (1 equiv) in the presence of pyridine (2 equiv) gave S-(3-chloro-5-cyanoisothiazol-4-yl)benzenesulfonothioate I in 19% and (Z)-2-(5H-1,2,3-dithiazol-5-ylidene)-2-acetonitriles II [R = CN, CO2Me, CO2Et, etc.] were reported. The compounds were fully characterized and the mechanistic rationale was proposed for the formation of the benzensulfonate.
105-34-0, 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., Recommanded Product: Methyl 2-cyanoacetate
