Product Description
Acetonitrile is an organic solvent characterized by its non-flammability and low toxicity. It has a distinctive sweet smell, colorless liquid appearance, and high boiling point. It is widely used as a chemical intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, dyes, plastics, and other materials.
Application
Solvent: Acetonitrile is widely used as a solvent in chemical syntheses, extractions, and purifications. It is particularly useful for dissolving polar compounds and has a high solvent power for many organic compounds.
Reagent: Acetonitrile is used as a reagent in the synthesis of a wide range of chemicals, including pharmaceuticals, dyes, and plastics.
Analytical chemistry: Acetonitrile is used in a variety of analytical chemistry techniques, including nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, infrared (IR) spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry (MS).
Cleaning: Acetonitrile can be used to clean and degrease surfaces and equipment in a variety of industrial settings.
Pesticide production: Acetonitrile is used in the production of certain pesticides.
Extracting oil: Acetonitrile is used in the extraction of oil from shale and other sources.
Chromatography: Acetonitrile is often used as an eluent (mobile phase) in chromatography, a technique used to separate and purify mixtures of chemicals. It is particularly useful in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and gas chromatography (GC).
