Application

Acetonitrile may be used as a solvent to prepare:1,2-Azidoalcohols and 1,2-azidoamines via cerium(III) chloride assisted ring opening of epoxides and aziridines by sodium azide.Cyano-bearing indolinones by oxidative arylalkylation of olefins in the presence of palladium catalyst.It may also be used as a reactant to synthesize:Bis (diphenylphosphino)acetonitrile by reacting with n-butyllithium and then with chlorodiphenylphosphine.β-Acetamido ketones via coupling reaction with ketones or ketoesters and aldehydes in the presence of cobalt(II) chloride.

General description

Acetonitrile, an aliphatic nitrile, is widely used as an organic solvent and intermediate in organic syntheses. It is transparent to UV-visible light, which makes it highly applicable in spectrophotometric and fluorimetric techniques. MeCN is utilized as a mobile phase component in many chromatographic techniques, due to its low viscosity, high elution strength and miscibility in water. It also plays a major role as an extractant medium in liquid-liquid extraction, solid-phase extraction or microextraction.
