CAS 544-92-3

Cuprous cyanide

Description:

Cuprous cyanide, with the chemical formula CuCN and CAS number 544-92-3, is an inorganic compound characterized by its white to off-white crystalline appearance. It is a salt formed from copper(I) ions and cyanide ions. Cuprous cyanide is known for its relatively low solubility in water, which makes it useful in various applications, including as a catalyst in organic synthesis and in the production of certain copper compounds. The compound exhibits toxicity due to the presence of cyanide, which poses significant health risks if ingested or inhaled. It is also sensitive to moisture and can decompose under certain conditions, releasing toxic gases. In terms of its chemical properties, cuprous cyanide can participate in redox reactions and can act as a reducing agent. Safety precautions are essential when handling this substance, given its hazardous nature. Overall, cuprous cyanide is an important compound in both industrial and laboratory settings, but it requires careful management due to its toxic characteristics.

Copper cyanide

Controlled Product

CAS: 544-92-3

Copper cyanide is a compound that contains copper and cyanide ions. It can be used as a model system to study the reaction mechanism of the enzyme amino transferase. When copper cyanide is heated with hydrochloric acid, nitrogen gas, and water vapor, it produces ammonia, hydrogen cyanide and copper chloride. Copper cyanide has also been shown to inhibit the activity of other enzymes such as carbonic anhydrase, phosphofructokinase, and α-chymotrypsin. The reaction mechanism for this inhibition is still unclear.
