Cyanamide (CAS 420-04-2)
QUICK LINKS
Cyanamide is a versatile heterocyclic organic compound. This colorless, crystalline solid is soluble in both water and polar organic solvents. Its wide range of applications in and biochemical fields makes it a reagent. It is a reagent for synthesizing heterocyclic compounds like quinolines, pyridines, and imidazoles. Cyanamide finds utility in the synthesis of cyanohydrins and plays a role in the nitrogen compound metabolism in plants and animals. Its versatile nature extends to the synthesis of polymers. The reactivity of cyanamide stems from its ability to act as a nucleophilic reagent. As an electron-rich species, it behaves as a Lewis base and can form new bonds when reacting with electron-deficient species like alkenes. Cyanamide can also act as an acid, enabling it to react with electron-rich species such as alcohols and form new bonds. These unique properties contribute to its utility in various chemical transformations.
