WHAT DOES ACETONITRILE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Acetonitrile

Acetonitrile is the chemical compound with the formula CH 3CN. This colourless liquid is the simplest organic nitrile. It is produced mainly as a byproduct of acrylonitrile manufacture. It is used as a polar aprotic solvent in organic synthesis and in the purification of butadiene. In the laboratory, it is used as a medium-polarity solvent that is miscible with water and range of organic solvents, but not saturated hydrocarbons. It has a convenient liquid range and a high dielectric constant of 38.8. With a dipole moment of 3.92 D, acetonitrile dissolves a wide range of ionic and nonpolar compounds and is useful as a mobile phase in HPLC and LC-MS. The N-C-C skeleton is linear with a short C-N distance of 1.16 Å. Acetonitrile was first prepared in 1847 by the French chemist Jean-Baptiste Dumas.

Definition of acetonitrile in the English dictionary

The definition of acetonitrile in the dictionary is a colourless organic chemical CH3CN, used chiefly as a solvent.
