Dodecanenitrile

Description:
Dodecanenitrile, with the CAS number 2437-25-4, is a linear aliphatic nitrile characterized by a 12-carbon chain with a cyano group (-C≡N) at one end. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature, exhibiting a relatively low volatility and a moderate boiling point compared to shorter-chain nitriles. Dodecanenitrile is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether, which is typical for long-chain nitriles. Its chemical structure contributes to its properties, including a relatively high viscosity and surface tension. Dodecanenitrile is primarily used in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of various chemicals, including pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Additionally, it may serve as a solvent or a plasticizer in certain applications. As with many nitriles, it can be toxic and should be handled with care, ensuring proper safety measures are in place to avoid inhalation or skin contact.
