Introduction
Glutaronitrile. The following is an introduction to the nature, use, preparation method and safety information of glutaronitrile:
Quality:
- Glutaronitrile is a colorless liquid with a peculiar odor.
- It has good solubility and can be dissolved in many organic solvents, such as ethanol, ether and acetone.
Use:
- Glutaronitrile is often used as a solvent for organic synthesis and is widely used in chemical experiments and industrial production.
- Glutaronitrile can also be used as a wetting agent, dewetting agent, extractant and organic synthesis solvent.
Method:
- Glutaronitrile is generally prepared by the reaction of glutaryl chloride with ammonia. Glutaryl chloride reacts with ammonia to form glutaronitrile and hydrogen chloride gas at the same time.
- Reaction equation: C5H8Cl2O + 2NH3 → C5H8N2 + 2HCl
Safety Information:
- Glutaronitrile is irritating to the skin and eyes, and appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves and goggles should be worn when touched.
