Malononitrile is an organic compound nitrile with the formula CH2(CN)2. It is a colorless or white solid, although aged samples appear yellow or even brown. It is a widely used building block in organic synthesis.
Preparation and reactions
It can be prepared by dehydration of cyanoacetamide.[3] This method is mainly practiced in China where environmental rules are lax. Most commonly malononitrile is produced by the gas-phase reaction of acetonitrile and cyanogen chloride:[4]
- NCCl + CH3CN → NCCH2CN + HCl
About 20,000,000 kg are produced annually (2007). Important outlets include the synthesis of thiamine, the drug triamterene and minoxidil, and the dyes disperse Yellow 90 and disperse Blue 354.[4]
Malononitrile is relatively acidic, with a pKa of 11 in water.[5] This allows it to be used in the Knoevenagel condensation, for example in the preparation of CS gas:
Despite its relative obscurity, Malononitrile is very useful in several reactions, the prime example being a suitable starting reagent for the Gewald reaction, where the nitrile condenses with a ketone or aldehyde in the presence of elemental sulfur and a base to produce a 2-aminothiophene.[6]
