Raw Material for Ethyl Cyanoacetate Production

According to the Ethyl Cyanoacetate production plant project report, the major raw materials for Ethyl Cyanoacetate production include Cyanoacetic Acid-Ethanol.

Production Process of Ethyl Cyanoacetate

The extensive Ethyl Cyanoacetate production cost report consists of the following industrial production process:

• Production from Cyanoacetic Acid:  This method of production involves the process of esterification of cyanoacetic acid for the synthesis of ethyl cyanoacetate as the product. As the first step of the reaction, cyanoacetic acid is produced by the interaction of sodium cyanide and chloroacetic acid. Further, the obtained cyanoacetic acid undergoes an esterification reaction with ethanol, which results in the formation of ethyl cyanoacetate as the final product.

Ethyl Cyanoacetate is a colorless ethyl ester with a chemical formula C5H7NO2. It’s a cyanide ester that consists of five carbon, seven hydrogen, one nitrogen, and two oxygen atoms and has a molecular weight of 113.11 g/mol. It is a colorless liquid irritant with a toxic nature. The compound can irritate any direct exposure to the skin and eyes. It has a mild, pleasant odor. Its melting and boiling point is measured around -22.5 °C and 205 °C, respectively.

Its flash point is measured around 110 °C. However, it is highly soluble in other solvents such as ethanol and ethyl ether. Similarly, it is soluble in ammonia water as well. Its density is measured around 1.0654 g/cu cm at 20 °C and has a higher density when compared to water. Its vapor pressure is measured around 1 mm Hg at 67.8 °C. It decomposes when heated at higher temperatures. Ethyl Cyanoacetate emits oxides of carbon and nitrogen on heating. It hydrolyzes rapidly under neutral as well as alkaline conditions and gives cyanoacetic acid along with ethanol at the end.
