Formyl cyanide. Synthesis by retro-ene cleavage of allyloxyacetonitrile and spectroscopic properties.
Résumé
Formyl cyanide has been generated by retro-ene cleavage of allyloxyacetonitrile using flash-vacuum thermolysis, and characterized by its photoelectron, IR, and UV spectra; its addn. to methanimine at 170 K gives N-cyanomethylformamide. [on SciFinder(R)]
