1.Product Property
Acetonitrile, abbreviated as ACN, is the simplest organic nitrile. It is also commonly known as methanecyanide and methyl nitrile. At room temperature, it is a colorless transparent liquid, highly volatile, with a special odor similar to ether, flammable, and when burned, it produces a bright flame. It is miscible with water, methanol, carbon tetrachloride, methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, dichloroethane, and many unsaturated hydrocarbon solvents. It is toxic and can be metabolized into hydrogen cyanide and thiocyanic acid.
