The carbon-cobalt bond in cyanoethylcobalamin can be reversibly cleaved to give hydridocobalamin and acrylonitrile. Aerobic decomposition in alkali is first order in both hydroxide ion and cyanoethylcobalamin, although the kinetics is somewhat ambiguous below pH 9. This is the first demonstrated example of alkyl-cobalt cleavage in which the cobalt leaves with the bonding electrons.
