Product Information
Name:Pyruvonitrile
Brand:Biosynth
Description:Pyruvonitrile is a reactive molecule that consists of a nitrile group (CN) and two carbon atoms. It can be produced by the chemical reaction between formaldehyde and ammonia, which has been shown to occur at elevated temperatures. Pyruvonitrile has been used in surface methodology as an indicator for water vapor, showing a linear correlation with the concentration of water vapor in air. This compound is also used in carbohydrate chemistry to synthesize alkanoic acids, which are important building blocks in many biochemical processes. Pyruvonitrile reacts with other compounds through steric interactions, which means that it only reacts with molecules that have a similar size. This property may be useful when designing pharmacokinetic properties for drugs or process optimization for chemical reactions.
