Description:Ethyl 3-cyanopropanoate is an organic compound with the formula CH3C(O)CH2CN. It is a colorless liquid that boils at 100 °C. It is used in the synthesis of other organic compounds, such as oxazolidinones, cyclopropenes, and quinolizines. The yield can be increased to 98% by using a catalyst such as potassium tert-butoxide or zinc chloride in the reaction. The reaction proceeds through an elimination followed by an acid-catalyzed alkylation to afford the desired product. This process also results in a high yield of ethyl bromoacetate as a side product.
