N,N-Dimethylcyanoacetate

Description:

N,N-Dimethylcyanoacetate is an organic compound characterized by its cyano and ester functional groups. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor, and it is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether, but has limited solubility in water. The compound features a cyano group (-C≡N) attached to an acetate moiety, which contributes to its reactivity and utility in organic synthesis. N,N-Dimethylcyanoacetate is often used as a building block in the synthesis of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the formation of α-cyanoacetic acid derivatives. It can undergo nucleophilic addition reactions due to the electrophilic nature of the carbonyl carbon in the ester group. Additionally, it is important to handle this compound with care, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested, and appropriate safety measures should be taken during its use in laboratory settings.
