Octanenitrile

Description:

Octanenitrile, also known as n-octanenitrile, is a linear aliphatic nitrile with the chemical formula C8H17N. It is characterized by a long carbon chain, consisting of eight carbon atoms, with a cyano group (-CN) attached to the terminal carbon. This compound is a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and has a relatively low boiling point compared to other nitriles. Octanenitrile is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic carbon chain. It is primarily used as an intermediate in organic synthesis and can serve as a solvent or reagent in various chemical reactions. Additionally, octanenitrile exhibits properties typical of nitriles, including moderate toxicity and potential environmental impact, necessitating careful handling and disposal. Its applications extend to the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other specialty chemicals, making it a valuable compound in industrial chemistry.

Octanenitrile

CAS: 124-12-9

Octanenitrile is a colorless liquid with a boiling point of 29.8 °C. It is soluble in water, ether, and chloroform, but insoluble in hexane. Octanenitrile has been shown to have an effect on the phase transition temperature by using deuterium isotopes. This compound can also be used to study the deuterium isotope effect on autoimmune diseases and cancer. The amine group in octanenitrile can be used to synthesize methylamines, one of which is malonic acid. The ph optimum for octanenitrile is 7-8. Octanenitrile reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce hydrogen chloride gas and dipropyl ether (CH3-CH2-O-CH3). Octanenitrile also has intramolecular hydrogen bonding that stabilizes the molecule, reducing activation energies for subsequent reactions such as fatty acid synthesis or polyunsaturated fatty acid synthesis
