Safety and Hazards

Glycolonitrile decomposes readily into formaldehyde and hydrogen cyanide, and it is listed as an extremely hazardous substance.

Preparation Methods

Synthetic Routes and Reaction Conditions:Glycolonitrile is typically synthesized by reacting formaldehyde with hydrogen cyanide in an aqueous medium. The reaction is carried out at near-neutral pH with small amounts of catalytic base to facilitate the process. The formaldehyde feed stream is often pre-heated to decompose polymeric impurities into monomeric formaldehyde before reacting with hydrogen cyanide .

Industrial Production Methods:In industrial settings, this compound is produced by reacting formaldehyde and hydrogen cyanide in a controlled environment to ensure high purity. The process involves maintaining the reaction mixture at low temperatures to prevent the formation of unwanted by-products. The resulting this compound solution is then purified through distillation and extraction techniques to obtain a high-purity product .
