Benzonitrile: A commercial chemical with exciting new research potentials This unusual chemical is receiving growing interest and use as an intermediate in pharmaceutical production. It is also interesting as an intermediate in the production of amino plastics.
in condensation reactions. Benzonitrile undergoes all reactions typical of the organic nitriles: reduction, hydrolysis, condensation, chlorination, nitration, alkylation and esterification.
Benzonitrile has many unique solvent properties. It is a clear, liquid polar aromatic c o m p o u n d that has a lower evaporation rate than Cellosolve, n-butyl acetate or diisobutyl ketone. Solvent applications include organic materials such as gums and resins, exotic coatings for ultra high heat resistance, and a number of inorganic salts that are used as catalysts
