Abstract
The first synthesis of doubly 15N-labelled malononitrile is described and its spectral properties are provided. A highly pure, (15N2) malononitrile is obtained in a facile and simple two-step synthesis which include reaction of diethyl malonate with 25% 15NH4OH at room temperature overnight to form (15N2)-malonodiamide in 84% yield, and dehydration of the latter by POCl3 in acetonitrile to (15N2) malononitrile (75%). The choice of reagents, and simple solutions for work-up, are discussed.
