- Acetonitrile (ACN) is
the chemical compound with formula CH3CN. This colourless liquid is the
simplest organic nitrile and is widely used as a solvent.
- Acetonitrile is a
toxic, colorless liquid with an ether-like odor and a sweet, burnt
taste.
- Acetonitrile, also
called methyl cyanide, is the simplest organic nitrile, clear, flammable
liquid, melting at -45 C and boiling at 81.6 C.
- It is extremely soluble
in water and miscible with ethanol, ether, acetone, chloroform, carbon
tetrachloride, and ethylene chloride.
- Acetonitrile is easily
ignited by heat, sparks or flames and gives off highly toxic hydrogen
cyanide fumes when heated and it dissolves easily in water.
- Acetonitrile is a
by-product from the manufacture of acrylonitrile.
- The acrylonitrile (ACN)
produced in the world today is produced using the SOHIO process for
ammoxidation of propylene and ammonia.
- Acetonitrile can also
be produced by dehydration of acetamide or by hydrogenation of mixtures
of carbon monoxide and ammonia.
- Acetonitrile is used to
make pharmaceuticals, perfumes, rubber products, pesticides, acrylic
nail removers and batteries.
- Acetonitrile is also
used to extract fatty acids from animal and vegetable oils.
- Industrially, it is
used a solvent in the purification of butadiene and in the manufacture
of pharmaceuticals and photographic film.
- Acetonitrile is used in
different processes in the chemical industry as a starting material for
the synthesis of many chemicals, pharmaceuticals and pesticides, and
also in the manufacturing of photographic films.
- Acetonitrile is used as
a solvent in the production of vitamin B, perfumes, plastics and as a
non-aqueous solvent for inorganic salts.
- Acetonitrile is also
used in the extraction and refining of copper, in the textile industry,
in lithium batteries and in analytical chemistry laboratories.
- Acetonitrile (ACN) is
undoubtedly one of the most widely used solvents in Reversed Phase High
Performance Liquid Chromatography (RP-HPLC).
- Acetonitrile is a
widely used, polar aprotic organic solvent.
- Acetonitrile is a
two-carbon building block in organic synthesis as in the production of
pesticides to perfumes.
- Acetonitrile is
utilized as a starting material for the production of such compounds as
acetophenone, α-naphthaleneacetic acid, thiamine,
and acetamidine.
- Deproteinisation with
acetonitrile is a useful and rapid technique in analysis of drugs or
their metabolites in human serum.
- The petrochemical
industry uses acetonitrile for extractive distillation due to its
selective miscibility with organic compounds.
- Acetonitrile is also
used as a solvent for polymer spinning and casting.
- Acetonitrile has many
applications in the analysis of a variety of pharmaceutical and chemical
products by UV detection.
- The syntheses of many
chemicals such as acetophenone, alpha-naphthalenacetic acid, thiamine,
and acetamidine use acetonitrile as a starting material or
catalyst.
- Acetonitrile is a
by-product from the manufacture of acrylonitrile and coal tar
production.
- Acetonitrile is
also formed during combustion of wood, straw, and other
vegetation.
- The four main producers
of acetonitrile in the United States are: INEOS, DuPont, J.T. Baker
Chemical, and Sterling Chemicals.
- In past years, 32.3
million pounds (14,700 t) of acetonitrile were produced in the
US.
