IRAS22272+5435 is a typical proto-planetary nebula (PPN) associated in the optical with a carbon-rich star HD235858 which shows a significant s-process enhancement. The star is surrounded by the detached circumstellar envelope (CSE), a result of an earlier mass loss. The best-fit model for the dust shell of IRAS22272+5435 consists of the central star surrounded by two separate sets of dust shells representing a PPN shell and a post-AGB wind shell located in the inner cavity of the PPN shell. A presence of hot dust grains in the inner cavity of the PPN shell and occasional mass ejections driven possibly by pulsations with the period of around 131 days was suspected for this object. The spectrum of IRAS22272+5435 originates at various depths throughout different layers in the atmosphere of HD235858 significantly affected by pulsations and in the CSE. A large number of narrow molecular lines originated in the CSE are present in the optical spectrum of IRAS22272+5435, blueshifted relative to the photospheric lines. The CSE lines of C_2 (1,0), (2,0), (3,0), (4,0) Phillips system and CN (1,0), (2,0), (3,0), (4,0) Red System were identified. Time series of high resolution spectra shows significant changes in the intensity of C_2 and CN photospheric features. The molecular photospheric features are stronger than should be for standard photosphere of G5 supergiant applicable for HD235858, therefore, the temperature of environment where formed the most of molecules is much lower than the effective temperature of 5500 K. The maximal expansion velocity and the maximal C_2 abundance was observed for HD235858 on October 2006 when the photosphere of HD235858 passed the maximal expansion velocity according to the CORAVEL measurements. The lines of CN Red system in general varies in step with C_2, however, the Doppler shift relative to the systemic velocity is lower. Thus, the photospheric molecular features are formed apparently in the cool outflow at different high scale. The spectrum observed in 2008 near light maximum shows emission in CN lines, in support of shock waves.
