Two a-type transitions with J = 4 − 3 and 5 − 4 and Ka = 0 around 34.9 and 43.65 GHz were detected in several fine and hyperfine components in the course of the QUIJOTE line survey carried out with the Yebes 40 m dish. Some of the lines were blended to different degrees. A rotational temperature of ~6 K was adopted. The molecule is about a factor of 26 less abundant than vinyl cyanide.
