Description

Other Notes

Acetonitrile (CHCN) is a colorless volatile liquid with a sweet ether-like odor featuring a linear structure where a methyl group (CH-) is bonded to a cyano group (-CN) making it a polar aprotic solvent with a boiling point of 8182C.

Purpose
Its primary purpose is to dissolve both polar and non-polar compounds effectively due to its high dipole moment (3.92 D) and low nucleophilicity enabling clean reactions and separations without interfering in aprotic environments

General Description
It is widely used as a solvent in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) organic synthesis for pharmaceuticals and pesticides battery production and as an extractant in perfumes and fuels.
