BENZONITRILE LR FOR SYNTHESIS Phenyl Cyanide
SKU: RXSOL-60-6604-048
Benzonitrile is the chemical compound with the formula C, abbreviated PhCN. This aromatic organic compound is a colorless liquid with a sweet bitter almond odour. It is mainly used as a precursor to the resin benzoguanamine.
Application
Benzonitrile is a useful solvent and a versatile precursor to many derivatives. It reacts with amines to afford N-substituted benzamides after hydrolysis.
Dosage
Benzonitrile is used as a solvent and chemical intermediate for the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, dyestuffs and rubber chemicals through the reactions.
