4-Cyanobutyric acid Use and Manufacturing

Stepl : 4-Cyanobutyric acidA mixture of γ-butyrolactone (5 g, 0.058 mol) and KCN (4.1 g, 0.064 mol) was heated to 190 °C for 2 h. The resulting reaction mixture was slowly cooled to room temperature and acidified to pH ~ 3-4 using citric acid solution. EtOAc was added to the mixture and the two layers were separated after stirring for 30 minutes. The organic layer was collected and washed with water and brine, and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure to get the pure 4-cyanobutyric acid (2.4 g, yield 36percent) as a brown liquid.
