Octadecanenitrile

Description:
Octadecanenitrile, also known as stearonitrile, is a long-chain aliphatic nitrile with the chemical formula C18H37N. It is characterized by a straight-chain structure consisting of 18 carbon atoms and a cyano group (-C≡N) at one end. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid at room temperature, depending on its specific form and purity. Octadecanenitrile is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether, which is common for long-chain hydrocarbons. It has applications in various fields, including organic synthesis, where it can serve as an intermediate in the production of other chemicals. Additionally, due to its long hydrophobic chain, it may exhibit surfactant properties. Safety data indicates that, like many nitriles, it should be handled with care due to potential toxicity and irritant effects. Proper safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment, are recommended when working with this substance.
