Ethyl Cyanoacetate Production Cost Reports

Ethyl Cyanoacetate production cost report provides a comprehensive analysis and know-how for setting up an Ethyl Cyanoacetate production plant. The study covers all the requisite aspects that one needs to know for the production of Ethyl Cyanoacetate. This includes manufacturing processes, raw material requirements, utility requirements, infrastructure requirements, machinery and technology requirements, manpower requirements, packaging requirements, transportation requirements, etc.

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 cause irritation on 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.

It has minimal solubility in water and evolves toxic gaseous chemicals when combined with water. 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. It also decomposes when reacted with acid or acid fumes while emitting highly toxic fumes of cyanides. 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.

It is the ethyl ester of cyanoacetic acid that has various commercial applications covering major sectors of the market. It is widely used in organic chemistry for preparing other chemical cyanides and other chemicals. It can be used for the synthesis of ethyl glyoxylate. The compound is considered a chemical reagent that can be included in the formulations to prepare pyrimidine and purine. It is used as a starting material in the synthesis of heterocycles that are further involved in the production of certain drugs, such as allopurinol, pyrrole ethosuximide, and more. The compound has other market applications as well, where it plays the role of a vital component in manufacturing products such as adhesives, dyes, and more.
