Tetracyanoethylene Chemical Properties,Uses,Production

Description

Tetracyanoethylene (TCNE) is a crystalline solid with a melting point of 200 °C. DuPont researchers prepared it in 1957 by treating dibromomalononitrile with copper in boiling benzene. TCNE is an excellent electron acceptor and has been used to prepare organic superconductors.
Tetracyanoethylene is a chemical compound of cyanide. It is used to prepare numerous organic superconductors, usually by serving as a single electron oxidant of an organic electron donor. Such charge-transfer salts are sometimes called Bechgaard salt.

Chemical Properties

white to beige-brown crystalline powder, crystals. Tetracyanoethylene [670-54-2], ethenetetracarbonitrile, TCNE, ( NC)2C = C (CN)2, Mr 128.09, mp 197 – 198℃, bp 223℃, n25 D 1.560. The preferred synthetic preparation of TCNE involves the debromination of the KBr complex of dibromomalononitrile. Tetracyanoethylene is a reactive compound that undergoes a variety of reactions including addition, replacement and cyclization. The chemistry of TCNE is exhaustively reviewed in.

Uses

In the synthesis of spiro Compounds, in modified Diels-Alder reactions, as aromatizing agent: Longone, Smith, Tetrahedron Lett. 1962, 205.

Uses

Used for postfunctional addition to polyphenylacetylene derivatives to change the oxygen permeability

Reactant for:

  • Regioselective [2+2] cycloaddition reaction for production of BODIPY dyes and TCBD derivatives
  • Thermal addition reaction with alkynes
  • One-pot reactions with nucleophilic reagents forming aromatic cyanovinyl compounds
  • Synthesis of cobalt tetracyanoethylene films
  • Biotransformation by Botrytis cinerea

Uses

Used for postfunctional addition to polyphenylacetylene derivatives to change the oxygen permeability. As reactant for Regioselective [2+2] cycloaddition reaction for production of BODIPY dyes2 and TCBD derivatives, Thermal addition reaction with alkynes, One-pot reactions with nucleophilic reagents forming aromatic cyanovinyl compounds, Synthesis of cobalt tetracyanoethylene films, Biotransformation by Botrytis cinerea.

Definition

Hazard

Hydrolyzes in moist air to hydrogen cyanide.

Purification Methods

Crystallise it from chlorobenzene, dichloroethane, or dichloromethane [Hall et al. J Org Chem 52 5528 1987]. Storeitat0oina desiccator over NaOH pellets. (It slowly evolves HCN on exposure to moist air CARE.) It can also be sublimed at 120o under vacuum. Also purify it by repeated sublimation at 120-130o/0.5mm. [Frey et al.
