Aminoacetonitrile is the organic compound with the formula . The compound is a colorless liquid. It is unstable at room temperature, owing to the incompatibility of the amine nucleophile and the nitrile electrophile. For this reason it is usually encountered as the chloride and bisulfate salts of the ammonium derivative, i.e., [NCCH2NH3]+Cl− and [NCCH2NH3]+HSO4−.

==Production and applications== Industrially aminoacetonitrile is produced from glycolonitrile by reaction with ammonia: HOCH2CN + NH3 → H2NCH2CN + H2O The aminoacetonitrile can be hydrolysed to give glycine: Being bifunctional, it is useful in the synthesis of diverse nitrogen-containing heterocycles.
