Ethyl Cyanoacetate (CAS: 105-56-6) is the ethyl ester of cyanoacetic acid, is a building block for the synthesis of heterocycles and are are used as drugs. It is also used as  used as a pharmaceutical intermediate, used in organic synthesis or Oil soluble couplers of film raw material. It is also used as a reagent in labelled pyrimidine and purine synthesis. It is used as an intermediate of fine chemicals such as medicine and dyestuff. Used to produce esters compound, acylamino compound and nitrile compound, etc. Widely used to produce medicine (such as Vitamin B6, caffeine, and Pemirolast potassium), dyestuff, pesticide, as well as as an oil-soluble color finisher for color films and as a raw material for 502 adhesives. Ethyl cyanoacetate may be used as an reagent used in labelled pyrimidine and purine synthesis. It may be used in the synthesis of ethyl glyoxylate. 

Fire Hazard Combustible material: may burn but does not ignite readily. Substance will react with water (some violently) releasing flammable, toxic or corrosive gases and runoff. When heated, vapors may form explosive mixtures with air: indoors, outdoors and sewers explosion hazards. Most vapors are heavier than air. They will spread along ground and collect in low or confined areas (sewers, basements, tanks). Vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back. Contact with metals may evolve flammable hydrogen gas. Containers may explode when heated or if contaminated with water.
