- Cytosine can be formed by reacting cyanoacetylene with cyanate, cyanogen or urea, and uracil can be produced by the hydrolysis of cytosine.
- Sodium nitroprusside is metabolized into cyanogen, which is converted into thiocyanate by the enzyme thiosulfate sulfurtransferase.
- The roots of the cassava plant contain linamarin, a cyanogen which produces the poisonous chemical cyanide when eaten.
