Lithium cyanide is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula LiCN. It is a toxic, white-colored, hygroscopic, water-soluble salt that finds the only niche uses.
LiCN arises from the interaction of lithium hydroxide and hydrogen cyanide. A laboratory-scale preparation uses acetone cyanohydrin as a surrogate for HCN:
(CH3)2C(OH)CN + LiH → (CH3)2CO + LiCN + H2
The compound decomposes to cyanamide and carbon when heated to a temperature close to but below 600°C. Acids react to give hydrogen cyanide.
Lithium cyanide can be used as a reagent for organic compound cyanation.
