Ethyl cyanoformate

Description:

Ethyl cyanoformate is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group and a cyano group. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. The compound has a molecular formula of C4H5NO2 and features a cyano group (-CN) attached to a carbonyl carbon, making it a member of the cyanoformate family. Ethyl cyanoformate is known for its reactivity, particularly in nucleophilic addition reactions, due to the electrophilic nature of the carbonyl carbon. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ether and alcohol but has limited solubility in water. This compound is utilized in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Safety precautions are necessary when handling ethyl cyanoformate, as it can be harmful if inhaled or absorbed through the skin, and it may cause irritation to the eyes and respiratory system. Proper storage in a cool, dry place away from incompatible substances is essential to maintain its stability and prevent hazardous reactions.

Ethyl cyanoformate

CAS: 623-49-4

Ethyl cyanoformate is a reactive compound that is used in organic synthesis. It has been shown to cause muscle cell proliferation and inhibit the production of gamma-aminobutyric acid, which is responsible for regulating neurotransmitter release. Ethyl cyanoformate also has antimicrobial properties due to its ability to form an oxygenated n-oxide tautomer. The reaction mechanism of ethyl cyanoformate involves the formation of a covalent bond with the sulfhydryl group on the enzyme gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor. This prevents the binding of GABA, inhibiting nerve impulses and reducing inflammation in the bowel.
