Product Information

• Name: 9,10-Anthracenedicarbonitrile
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 9,10-Anthracenedicarbonitrile is a compound that is used in organic chemistry. It is synthesized by the reaction of biphenyl with nitric acid and deuterium oxide in a vessel that has been cooled to -78°C. The deuterium isotope provides information about hydrogen bonding interactions and the transfer mechanism of the reaction. 9,10-Anthracenedicarbonitrile has electron deficient characteristics that make it susceptible to photooxidation reactions. 9,10-Anthracenedicarbonitrile reacts with nucleophiles such as hydroxide ions or alcohols to form an intermediate that can undergo either a nucleophilic attack or a transfer reaction. The rate constant for this process depends on the viscosity of the solvent.
