What is acetonitrile solvent CAS 75-05-8?

CAS 75-05-8 Acetonitrile is a colourless liquid with a sweet, ether-like odour. It is widely used as a polar aprotic solvent in organic synthesis and chromatography due to its low viscosity and high elution strength. Acetonitrile is a highly volatile and flammable solvent that is miscible with water and many organic solvents. Acetonitrile solvent is commonly employed in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, fibres, and resins, as well as in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).

 

ACN is toxic and can be metabolised into hydrogen cyanide and thiocyanate. It is used as a solvent and intermediate in various industrial and laboratory applications, including the extraction of fatty acids, the production of vitamin B1, and the synthesis of organic compounds.

Why is acetonitrile (cas 75 05 8) used as a solvent?

Acetonitrile (cas 75 05 8) is a premier polar aprotic solvent, which is its most defining feature:

  • Versatility: Dissolves both polar and nonpolar substances.
  • Physical Properties: Low viscosity for efficient flow, low UV cutoff for sensitive detection, and a convenient liquid range.
  • Stability: Stable at high temperatures and less prone to dangerous peroxide formation than other solvents like ethers.
  • Fast Evaporation: Quickly removed, aiding in sample preparation.
