Malononitrile is an organic compound nitrile with the formula CH 2 (CN) 2. It is a colorless or white solid, although aged samples appear yellow or even brown. It is a colorless or white solid, although aged samples appear yellow or even brown.
Diaminomaleonitrile has been proposed since the 1960s as a key substance for the prebiotic synthesis of nucleobases.Photochemical rearrangement of DAMN under UV light gives 4-aminoimidazole-5-carbonitrile (AICN), which can react further to form various nucleobases.
roc(o)cl + ho 2 cr' → roc(o)−oc(o)r' + hcl Typically these reactions would be conducted in the presence of a base which serves to absorb the HCl. Alkyl chloroformate esters degrate to give the alkyl chloride, with retention of configuration :
TCNE is prepared by brominating malononitrile in the presence of potassium bromide to give the KBr-complex, and dehalogenating with copper. [1] Oxidation of TCNE with hydrogen peroxide gives the corresponding epoxide, which has unusual properties. [2] In the presence of base, TCNE reacts with malononitrile to give salts of pentacyanopropenide: [3]
There are three structural isomers: 1,2-dihydroxybenzene (the ortho isomer) is commonly known as catechol, 1,3-dihydroxybenzene (the meta isomer) is commonly known as resorcinol, and 1,4-dihydroxybenzene (the para isomer) is commonly known as hydroquinone. [1]
Sodium maleonitriledithiolate is the chemical compound described by the formula Na 2 S 2 C 2 (CN) 2. The name refers to the cis compound, structurally related to maleonitrile ((CH(CN)) 2). Maleonitriledithiolate is often abbreviated mnt. It is a "dithiolene", i.e. a chelating alkene-1,2-dithiolate.
The compound 2-chlorobenzalmalononitrile (also called o-chlorobenzylidene malononitrile; chemical formula: C 10 H 5 ClN 2), a cyanocarbon, is the defining component of the lachrymatory agent commonly referred to as CS gas, a tear gas which is used as a riot control agent, and is banned for use in warfare due to the 1925 Geneva Protocol.
Tetramethylsuccinonitrile or TMSN is an organic compound with the formula (C(CH 3) 2 CN) 2, classified as a dinitrile, and a colorless and odorless solid derived from 2,2'-azobis-isobutyronitrile, a common radical initiator in the manufacture of PVC: [(CH 3) 2 C(CN)] 2 N 2 → [(CH 3) 2 C(CN)] 2 + N 2.
