Preparation
From chlorotrimethylsilane, zinc, and
XCH2CN, (X = Cl, 61% yield; X = Br, 81% yield).
Purification Methods
Check if NMR and IR spectra show impurities; if present dissolve it in *C6H6 (10volumes), wash it with buffer (AcOH/AcONa pH ca 7) several times, dry (CaCl2) it, evaporate and distil it. IR: (CCl4) 2215 (CN) cm-1, NMR (CCl4): 0.23 (s, 9H, SiMe3), and 1.53 (s, 2H, CH2CN). [Matsuda et al. J Chem Soc, Perkin Trans 1 26 1979, Beilstein 4 IV 3974.]
Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 18293-53-3 includes 8 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 5 digits, 1,8,2,9 and 3 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 5 and 3 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 18293-53:
(7*1)+(6*8)+(5*2)+(4*9)+(3*3)+(2*5)+(1*3)=123
123 % 10 = 3
So 18293-53-3 is a valid CAS Registry Number.

Paragraph 0017; 0021, (2020/04/17)
The invention discloses a preparation method of 1,4-dicyano-2-butene, and belongs to the field of organic chemistry. Acetylene is used as a raw material; after twice addition with bromine, eliminationis performed to obtain trans 1,2-acetylene dibromide; then, under the catalysis of cuprous salt, the trans 1,2-acetylene dibromide and trimethylsilylacetonitrile take a coupling reaction to obtain 1,4-dicyano-2-butene. During the synthesis, the use of a highly toxic product of hydrogen cyanide is avoided; a novel method is provided for the compound synthesis.
