The point of the paper was that the time requirement is lowered and yield is drastically increased with the usage of DMF with potassium fluoride, or
even better, cesium fluoride.
I also seem to recall reading an inert atmosphere isn't required for this particular procedure, but you want to ensure everything is very dry.

how is done ?
Quote: Originally posted by Boffis  | | I have used propane as an oxygen shield when preparing sodium cyanide from anhydrous sodium ferrocyanide and metallic sodium. The small amounts of

reaction vessel you can always run the exhaust gas through a bunsen burner to burn it off. |
like to know more about using sodium ferrocyanide and metallic sodium to produce NaCN. thanks

If you really have to ask, the HCN vapor will likely kill you.
Not something to take lightly.
We had a member die a while back due to similar preparations.
The NaCN preparation on YT is actually of the member that died.

Ive already done it lots of times on a molar scale .I was wanting to know how elemental sodium is used in the process. I always used sodium hydroxide
. Have distilled hydrocyanic lots of times and never had a problem. Why does alot of people here always assume some one with a couple posts is dumb
as dirt.

The method of reducing ferrocyanide with sodium is posted on this forum. I think it is at or toward the end of the "Preparation of cyanides" thread,
under Chemistry in General. Search and you will find.
