Acetonitrile

Acetonitrile, with the formula C2H3N, is a colourless liquid and the simplest organic nitrile. Primarily a byproduct of acrylonitrile manufacture, it is a polar aprotic solvent in organic synthesis and butadiene purification.

Properties Of Acetonitrile

Applications of Acetonitrile

• Acetonitrile in Chemical Synthesis: Acetonitrile is a versatile building block in organic synthesis, serving as a solvent, reactant, or intermediate in various chemical reactions. It is widely used in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and fine chemical industries for the production of pharmaceuticals, pesticides, dyes, and specialty chemicals.
• Chromatography Applications: Acetonitrile is a common solvent and mobile phase component in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and gas chromatography (GC) applications. It is valued for its low viscosity, high elution strength, and compatibility with a wide range of analytes. Acetonitrile-based chromatography is utilized in analytical laboratories for separation and analysis of complex mixtures.
• Extraction and Purification Processes: Due to its ability to dissolve polar and non-polar compounds, acetonitrile is used in extraction and purification processes in chemical and pharmaceutical industries. It facilitates the separation of target compounds from reaction mixtures, impurities, or natural sources through techniques such as liquid-liquid extraction and crystallization.
• Electroplating Applications: Acetonitrile is employed as a solvent and carrier in electroplating processes for metal deposition. It serves as a stable, non-conductive medium for dissolving metal salts and transporting metal ions during electroplating of surfaces. Acetonitrile-based electrolytes are used in electrochemistry for metal finishing and corrosion protection.
• Laboratory Reagent: In laboratory settings, acetonitrile is used as a solvent, diluent, and reagent for various analytical and synthetic procedures. It is particularly useful for dissolving polar and non-polar compounds, as well as for carrying out reactions under controlled conditions. Acetonitrile is commonly employed in organic synthesis, spectroscopy, and peptide synthesis.
• Pharmaceutical Formulations: Acetonitrile is utilized in pharmaceutical formulations as a solvent or co-solvent for drug substances and excipients. It may be included in parenteral solutions, injectable drugs, and topical formulations for enhancing solubility, stability, or bioavailability of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
