What is Glutaronitrile?
Chemical properties
Clear colorless to yellow liquid
The Uses of Glutaronitrile
Glutaronitrile can be used as:
- An electrolyte additive in high energy/power Li-ion batteries.
- A glutarate ligand source to prepare zinc glutarate (ZnGA) by reacting with zinc perchlorate hexahydrate.
- A reactant to synthesize pentanedithioamide by reacting with Lawesson′s reagent in the presence of boron trifluoride etherate (BF3.OEt2).
The Uses of Glutaronitrile
Chemical intermediate
Safety Profile
Poison by subcutaneous route. Moderately toxic by ingestion. When heated to decomposition it emits very toxic fumes of NOx and CN-. See also NITRILES.
