Abstract
The dicyanogen split off from organic compounds can be detected by reaction with 8-hydroxyquinoline and alkali cyanide. Since oxamide yields dicyanogen on gentle warming with phosphorus pentoxide, and guanidine (guanidine salts) as well as melamine and guanamine produce dicyanogen on pyrolysis, specific or selective tests for these compounds have been based on this behavior.
