TCI C0437 2-Cyanoacetamide (CAS 107-91-5) is a classic active methylene building block containing both nitrile and amide groups. Its acidic methylene protons make it highly reactive toward aldehydes and ketones in Knoevenagel condensations. The resulting adducts are widely cyclised into pyridone, pyrimidine, and pyran heterocycles used in medicinal chemistry and dye research. The crystalline solid should be kept tightly sealed in a cool, dry place and handled with gloves and eye protection in a well-ventilated area.
