Cyanoacetylene is an organic compound that can be seen as a monosubstituted ethyne or as a nitrile of acetylenic acid .

Occurrence

Cyanoacetylene was detected by spectroscopic methods in interstellar clouds, as well as in the tail of the comet Hale-Bopp and in the atmosphere of the Saturn moon Titan .

Presentation and extraction

The representation of cyanoacetylene achieved by the dehydration of Acetylencarbonsäureamid in the presence of phosphorus pentoxide . The acid amide can be prepared from the acetylenecarboxylic acid via an ester stage , which is accessible by reacting ethyne with carbon dioxide .

Synthesis of cyanoacetylene

properties

Cyanoacetylene is a low-boiling, colorless liquid. The connection solidifies below 5 ° C. Solid cyanoacetylene crystallizes in a monoclinic crystal system. The vapors are highly flammable and extremely irritating to tears. Cyanoacetylene polymerizes when exposed to UV light . No significant free radical polymerization is observed in the presence of peroxides . A 1: 1 complex is formed with ammonia via hydrogen bonds . Cyanoacetylene has a noticeable CH acidity ; H. it can be deprotonated by strong bases. The reason is the mesomerism stabilization of the anion ( −M effect of the cyano group).

use

Cyanoacrylates can be produced by ethoxycarbonylation of cyanoacetylene .
