Overview of Benzonitrile

Benzonitrile is a nitrile aromatic compound that can be used as a solvent, intermediate in pharmaceuticals, and in organic syntheses. The compound is known for its moderate chemical stability and polarity. Benzonitrile is widely used for chemical production in pharmaceutical synthesis as well as a specialist solvent.

The compound is a transparent to pale yellow colour that has a distinctive almond-like smell. The functional group nitrile and aromatic structure offer distinct solvent characteristics and their synthetic value.

Other related products include Benzaldehyde, Benzoic Acid, Acetonitrile and many other aromatic compounds utilised for industrial and synthesis.
