Description

Dicyandiamido (also known as cyanoguanidine) is a white, crystalline solid that is a useful synthetic building block for various organic and inorganic compounds. It is typically produced by the reaction of cyanamide with itself, often under heat and pressure, and is commonly used as a precursor for synthesizing other valuable chemicals, including pharmaceuticals and agricultural products. It acts as a nitrogen source in fertilizers and is utilized in the production of various plastics, resins, and explosives. The study of dicyandiamido is driven by its versatility as a synthetic reagent, its applications in different industries, and its potential for further research and development of novel and sustainable applications.'

Roles (5)

RoleDescription
curing agentA chemical additive used to toughen or harden a polymer material by cross-linking of polymer chains.
flame retardantAny compound that is added to manufactured materials to inhibit, suppress, or delay the production of flames and so prevent the spread of fire.
fertilizerA fertilizer is any substance that is added to soil or water to assist the growth of plants.
explosiveA substance capable of undergoing rapid and highly exothermic decomposition.
nitrification inhibitorAny inhibitor added to nitrogen fertilizers which can reduce the rate at which ammonium is converted to nitrate. Under appropriate conditions, this can help reduce nitrogen losses through denitrification and leaching.

Drug Classes (2)

ClassDescription
guanidinesAny organonitrogen compound containing a carbamimidamido (guanidino) group. Guanidines have the general structure (R(1)R(2)N)(R(3)R(4)N)C=N-R(5) and are related structurally to amidines and ureas.
nitrileA compound having the structure RC#N; thus a C-substituted derivative of hydrocyanic acid, HC#N. In systematic nomenclature, the suffix nitrile denotes the triply bound #N atom, not the carbon atom attached to it.
