Application

N,N-Diethyl-2-cyanoacetoamide can be used:
  • To prepare N,N-diethyl 2-cyano-2-fluoro-2-phenylthioacetoamide, which is further used in the synthesis of various cyanofluoroamides.
  • In the synthesis of entacapone, a catechol-O-methyltransferase inhibitor by reacting with 3,4-dihydroxy-5-nitrobenzaldehyde.
  • As a building block in the synthesis of fluorophores, applicable as endoplasmic reticulum probes.
