We present a survey of 3 mm molecular lines in IRAS 04296+2923, one of thebrightest known molecular-line emitting galaxies, and one of the closest LIRGs.Data are from the Owens Valley and CARMA millimeter interferometers. Speciesdetected at ~<4" resolution include C^18O, HCN, HCO+, HNC, CN, CH_3OH and,tentatively, HNCO. Along with existing CO, ^13CO and radio continuum data,these lines constrain the chemical properties of the inner disk. Densemolecular gas in the nucleus fuels a star formation rate ~>10 M_sun/yr and istraced by lines of HCN, HCO+, HNC, and CN. A correlation between HCN and starformation rate is observed on sub-kpc scales, consistent with global relations.Toward the nucleus, CN abundances are similar to those of HCN, indicatingemission comes from a collection (~40-50) of moderate visual extinction,photon-dominated region clouds. The CO isotopic line ratios are unusual:CO(1-0)/^13CO(1-0) and CO(1-0)/C^18O(1-0) line ratios are large toward thestarburst, as is commonly observed in LIRGs, but farther out in the disk theseratios are remarkably low (~<3). ^13CO/C^18O abundance ratios are lower than inGalactic clouds, possibly because the C^18O is enriched by massive star ejectafrom the starburst. ^13CO is underabundant relative to CO. Extended emissionfrom CH_3OH indicates that dynamical shocks pervade both the nucleus and theinner disk. The unusual CO isotopologue ratios, the CO/HCN intensity ratioversus L_IR, the HCN/CN abundance ratio and the gas consumption time versusinflow rate, all indicate that the starburst in IRAS 04296+2923 is in an earlystage of development.
