CYANOACETIC ACID FOR SYNTHESIS
Description
Cyanoacetic acid can be used as a reagent: Along with acetic anhydride for cyanoacetylation of various pyrroles, indoles, and aniline derivatives. It can also be used in other reactions such as cyclizations, syntheses of coumarins and other heterocycles.

Application
Application
Cyanoacetic acid is prepared by treatment of chloroacetate salts with sodium cyanide followed by acidification. Electrosynthesis by cathodic reduction of carbon dioxide and anodic oxidation of acetonitrile also affords cyanoacetic acid.
