| | OCTANENITRILE Usage And Synthesis |
| Chemical Properties | clear colorless to light yellow liquid | | Uses | Heptyl cyanide (Caprylonitrile) was used as a solvent to study the intermediates in the decomposition of aliphatic diazo-compounds. | | Uses | Octanenitrile is a reagent often used in the preparation of amides by hydration using amorphous manganese oxide catalyst in the presence of reduced amounts of water. | | Synthesis Reference(s) | The Journal of Organic Chemistry, 64, p. 3544, 1999 DOI: 10.1021/jo982317b
