Diaminomaleonitrile
Diaminomaleonitrile (DAMN) is an organic compound composed of two amino groups and two nitrile groups bonded to a central alkene unit. The systematic name reflects its relationship to maleic acid.
The chemical can be formed by polymerization of hydrogen cyanide and can be used as the starting point for the synthesis of several classes of heterocyclic compounds. Therefore, it has been considered as a possible organic chemical present in prebiotic conditions.[2]
