Report Description
Acetonitrile, also known as methyl cyanide or cyanomethane is a colorless chemical
compound in liquid form having chemical formula CH3CN. Acetonitrile is the most basic
and simple organic nitrile. Acetonitrile is produced primarily as an acrylonitrile
manufacture byproduct. It is utilized as a polar aprotic solvent in organic synthesis and
for the purpose of butadiene purification. Acetonitrile finds major application in the
pharmaceutical industry for synthesizing new medicaments, pesticides, vitamin B1, and
other products.
