Octanenitrile

CAS: 124-12-9

Ref. 3D-AAA12412

Product Information

• Name: Octanenitrile
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 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
