Description

Piperonylnitrile is a chemical substance that is used as an intermediate in the production of anisidine and piperonal. It can be activated by radiation, hydrochloric acid, or chloride to form an active intermediate that can react with an aldoxime to produce a nitrile oxide. Piperonylnitrile has been shown to have an inhibitory effect on the reaction between hydrochloric acid and piperonal. Reaction time was increased from 2 hours at room temperature to 6 days when piperonylnitrile was added to the reaction mixture. Piperonylnitrile also has a dehydrating effect on low molecular weight compounds.
