Description

Application
It is applied as a high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) mobile phase solvent extractant in pharmaceutical and chemical processing and reaction medium in organic synthesis typically handled in ventilated fume hoods due to toxicity

Purpose
Acetonitrile serves as a polar aprotic solvent for chemical analysis extractions and reactions requiring low nucleophilicity while also acting as a precursor in nitrile chemistry and an intermediate in acetonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) plastic produ

General Description
Acetonitrile is a colorless volatile liquid with a sweet ethereal odor featuring a linear structure with a carbon-nitrogen triple bond molecular weight of 41.05 gmol boiling point around 82C and density of 0.786 gcm making it fully miscible with water and most organic solvents.
