Description and uses

Acetonitrile is an organic molecule, often used as a solvent. ACETONI is a colorless liquid with an aromatic odor. It is used in organic synthesis as a starting material for acetophenone, alpha-naphthaleneacetic acid, thiamine, acetamidine, amides, amines, higher molecular weight mono- and dinitriles, halogenated nitriles, ketones, isocyanates, and heterocycles. It is used in the manufacturing of acrylic fibers, pharmaceuticals, perfumes, nitrile rubber, and pesticides. It is also used to remove tars, phenols, and coloring matter from petroleum hydrocarbons to extract fatty acids from fish liver, animal, and vegetable oils and to recrystallize steroids. It is used wherever a polar solvent having a high dielectric constant is required as a solvent in non-aqueous titrations and as a non-aqueous solvent for inorganic salts.
