Butyronitrile or butanenitrile or propyl cyanide, is a nitrile with the formula C3H7CN. This colorless liquid is miscible with most polar organic solvents.
Uses
Butyronitrile is mainly used as a precursor to the poultry drug amprolium.[4]
Synthesis
Butyronitrile is prepared industrially by the ammoxidation of n-butanol:
- C3H7CH2OH + NH3 + O2 → C3H7CN + 3 H2O
Occurrence in space
Butyronitrile has been detected in the Large Molecule Heimat.[5]
