Malononitrile, also known as MDN, malonodinitrile, dicyanomethane,
or other synonyms, is a chemical compound with the CAS number 109-77-3.
It has the molecular formula C3H2N2 and the molar mass 66.06.
It is a colorless crystalline substance that dissolves in water and some organic solvents.
It has a relative density of 1.1910, a melting point of 32°C, a boiling point of 218-219°C,
a refractive index of 34.2°C, and a flash point of 112°C.
It is mainly used as a raw material for organic synthesis, especially for the preparation of 2-amino-4,6-dimethoxypyrimidine and 2-chloro-4,6-dimethoxypyrimidine.
These compounds can be used to produce sulfonylurea herbicides,
such as bensulfuron-methyl and pyrisulfuron-methyl, and diuretic drugs, such as bisoxyl.
It can also be used to synthesize important drugs, such as vitamin B1, methotrexate,
and triamterene, which are used in medicine, dye, and pesticide industries.
It can also be used as an extractant for gold and an organic solvent.
It is toxic and can cause central nervous system poisoning and epilepsy.
It should be stored and transported in a cool and ventilated place, away from fire, heat, oxidants, acids, and alkaline substances.
It should be packed in iron plastic drums and kept dry.
