What is 2-PHENYLBUTYRONITRILE?
The Uses of 2-PHENYLBUTYRONITRILE
2-Phenylbutyronitrile is an intermediate in synthesizing rac-Glutethimide (G598150), a hypnotic sedative which was once used to treat insomnia. When taken with codeine, it has an intense euphoric effect on the subject due to the body’s increased ability to convert codeine to morphine.
