Product Information

• Name: 2-Acetoxybenzonitrile
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2-Acetoxybenzonitrile is an atypical, acidic organic compound with a molecular weight of 136.06 g/mol. It has a melting point of -5.5 °C and decomposes spontaneously at high temperatures to form benzonitrile, carbon dioxide, and water. 2-Acetoxybenzonitrile is able to act as a competitive inhibitor of acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) in the kinetic determination of ASA using acetylation as the rate-determining step. In this experiment, 2-acetoxybenzonitrile was found to be an effective inhibitor of acetylation with a KI value of 1.8 x 10 M. The spectrometer can be used to determine the molecular weight and purity of 2-acetoxybenzonitrile by measuring its absorbance in the ultraviolet region.2-Acetoxybenzonitrile binds metal cations such as Cu(II), Fe(
