| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Description]
Pyruvonitrile is a versatile electrophile useful for selective acylation, cyanohydrin synthesis, and cycloaddition reactions. | [Chemical Properties]
Pyruvonitrile has a boiling point of 92.3 °C and a density of 0.9745 g/cm3. | [Uses]
Pyruvonitrile was used in the synthesis of cuprate-carbonyl π-complexes by reaction with Me2CuLi in THF. | [Preparation]
Preparative Methods of Pyruvonitrile: acyl cyanides are readily prepared from the reaction of acyl halides with Copper(I)
Cyanide, Sodium Cyanide,or Cyanotrimethylsilane and via the oxidation of cyanohydrins. | [General Description]
The infrared spectra of pyruvonitrile was studied. | [storage]
Pyruvonitrile and its analogs are highly toxic; use in a fume hood. |
