APPLICATIONS
|
Nitrile is any
of a family of organic compounds containing cyano group (-C¡ÕN) which is attached
to a carbon atom and having the general formula RC¡ÕN. Their names are
corresponding to carboxylic acids by changing '-ic acid' to '-onitrile', or
'-nitrile', whichever preserves a single letter o. Examples are acetonitrile
from acetic acid and benzonitrile from benzoic acid. Pendant nitriles are often
named as ¡°cyano¡± substituents. Cyanoacetic acid, the half
nitriled-malonic acid, and its esters are basic chemical intermediates for
the production of;
- Malonates
- Barbitals
- Caffeine,
Betaine, Vitamin B
- Pharamceuticals
- Glycine
- Surfactancts
- Agrochemicals
- Dyestuffs
- Adhesives
- Indigo
dyes
- Herbicides
- Engineering plastics
