Cyanacetic acid is an important organic synthesis intermediate, appearing as a white crystalline powder. It is used in the production of vitamin B6, caffeine, adhesives (such as the raw material for 502 instant-drying glue), dyes, and pesticides. It also has various derivatives, including ethyl cyanacetate and methyl cyanacetate. Cyanacetic acid is corrosive and toxic, requiring careful handling and storage.
