Sometimes potassium cyanide participates in the reaction, but the carbon chain of the product is not necessarily extended. For example, in the presence of potassium cyanide, ammonia can react with carboxylic acid esters The reaction generates hydroxamic acid (formula 3)[7].

AsacatalystInadditiontobeingareactant,potassiumcyanidecanalsobeusedasacatalyst.Forexample,itcancatalyzecertainreactionstoformC-Cbonds(formula4)[8].

Potassium cyanide and 18-crown ether-6 form a catalytic system, which has a strong catalytic effect and can be used for the coupling reaction of carbon-carbon bonds (Formula 5)[9], the reaction mechanism is shown in Formula 6.

Using potassium cyanide as a catalyst can also be used to form amide bonds, thereby extending the peptide chain (Formula 7)[10].

Halogenated hydrocarbons react with PPh3 to form  salts, Hydrolysis in the presence of KCN and heavy water can give high yield of deuterated products (Formula 8)[11].

7. Used for refining gold, silver and other precious metals, quenching, electroplating, and preparing analytical reagents, organic nitriles, and medicine , pesticides, etc. [26]
