2,3-Butadienenitrile, CH₂CCHCN, aka cyanoallene, has been detected with the 100m Greenbank telescope toward TMC-1:

Hyperfine Structure Identification of Interstellar Cyanoallene toward TMC-1
Astrophys. J. 637, L37–L40 (2006).
As the number of four observed rotational transitions is somewhat small, the (partial) resolution of the ¹⁴N hyperfine structure is a decisive aspect in securing the detection.
