3. Product Application of Acetonitrile
3.1. Chemical analysis and instrumental analysis
Acetonitrile has been used in recent years as an organic modifier and solvent for thin layer chromatography, paper chromatography, spectroscopic and polarographic analysis. Since high-purity acetonitrile does not absorb ultraviolet light between 200nm and 400nm, one application being developed is as a solvent for high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), which can make the analysis sensitivity as high as 10-9.
3.2. Hydrocarbon extraction and separation solvent
Acetonitrile is a widely used solvent, mainly used as a solvent in extractive distillation to separate butadiene from C4 hydrocarbons. Acetonitrile is also used for the separation of other hydrocarbons, such as propylene, isoprene and methyl acetylene from hydrocarbon fractions. Acetonitrile is also used in some special separations, such as extracting and separating fatty acids from vegetable oil and cod liver oil, making the treated oil light, pure and odor-improved, while the vitamin content remains unchanged. Acetonitrile is also widely used as a solvent in the pharmaceutical, pesticide, textile, and plastic sectors.
3.3. Intermediates for synthesizing medicines and pesticides
Acetonitrile can be used as an intermediate in the synthesis of a variety of pharmaceuticals and pesticides. In medicine, it is used to synthesize a series of important pharmaceutical intermediates such as vitamin B1, metronidazole, ethambutol, triamterene, adenine and dimethacin; in pesticides, it is used to synthesize pyrethroids. Pesticide intermediates such as insecticides and etoximecarb.
3.4. Semiconductor cleaning agent
Acetonitrile is a highly polar organic solvent that has good solubility in grease, inorganic salts, organic matter and polymer compounds. It can clean away grease, wax, fingerprints, corrosives and flux residues on silicon wafers. Therefore, high-purity acetonitrile can be used as a semiconductor cleaning agent.
3.5. Other applications
In addition to the above applications, acetonitrile can also be used as a raw material for organic synthesis, a catalyst or a component of a transition metal complex catalyst. Acetonitrile is also used in fabric dyeing and coating formulations and is an effective stabilizer for chlorinated solvents.
4. Product Details of Acetonitrile
Acetonitrile is an organic compound. It is a colorless and transparent liquid with excellent solvent properties. It can dissolve a variety of organic, inorganic and gaseous substances and is infinitely miscible with water and alcohol. Acetonitrile can undergo typical nitrile reactions and is used to prepare many typical nitrogen-containing compounds. It is an important organic intermediate.
