CAS 111-69-3: Adiponitrile

Description: Adiponitrile, with the CAS number 111-69-3, is a colorless to pale yellow liquid that is primarily used as an intermediate in the production of nylon and other polymers. It has a molecular formula of C6H8N2 and features a linear structure with two cyano (–CN) groups attached to a hexane backbone. Adiponitrile is known for its relatively high boiling point and moderate solubility in water, while being more soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone. The substance is flammable and can produce toxic fumes when burned. It is also classified as a potential skin and eye irritant, necessitating careful handling and appropriate safety measures in industrial settings. In addition to its role in polymer synthesis, adiponitrile can be involved in various chemical reactions, including hydrogenation to produce hexamethylenediamine, a key component in nylon production. Overall, adiponitrile is an important compound in the chemical industry, particularly in the manufacture of synthetic fibers and plastics.
