7062-95-5 - Introduction
Potassium cyanoacetate is an organic compound with the chemical formula C4H4KNO2. The following is a description of the nature, use, preparation and safety information of Potassium cyanoacetate:
Nature:
- Potassium cyanoacetate is a colorless crystalline powdery solid.
-It is soluble in water and alcohol solvents, more soluble in absolute ethanol.
-Decomposition at high temperature may release hydrogen cyanide gas.
-It is stable in the air.
Use:
- Potassium cyanoacetate are used as reagents and starting materials in organic synthesis.
-In the field of medicine, it can be used to prepare drugs and biomarkers.
-It can also be used as a color enhancer in pyrotechnic preparations.
Preparation Method:
Generally, Potassium cyanoacetate is obtained by reacting sodium acetate with potassium cyanide. The specific reaction needs to be carried out under appropriate temperature and pH conditions.
Safety Information:
- Potassium cyanoacetate is a flammable substance and should be stored and operated away from open flames and heat sources.
-When it is decomposed by heat, it will release toxic hydrogen cyanide gas, so it should be used in a well-ventilated place and avoid inhaling the gas.
