What is 2-METHYLGLUTARONITRILE?
The Uses of 2-METHYLGLUTARONITRILE
2-Methylglutaronitrile (MGN) may be used in the synthesis of 1,5-dimethyl-2-piperidone (1,5-DMPD) by chemoenzymatic process.
What are the applications of Application
2-Methylglutaronitrile is An intermediate chemical
General Description
Amber liquid.
Air & Water Reactions
Water soluble.
Reactivity Profile
Nitriles, such as 2-METHYLGLUTARONITRILE, may polymerize in the presence of metals and some metal compounds. They are incompatible with acids; mixing nitriles with strong oxidizing acids can lead to extremely violent reactions. Nitriles are generally incompatible with other oxidizing agents such as peroxides and epoxides. The combination of bases and nitriles can produce hydrogen cyanide. Nitriles are hydrolyzed in both aqueous acid and base to give carboxylic acids (or salts of carboxylic acids). These reactions generate heat. Peroxides convert nitriles to amides. Nitriles can react vigorously with reducing agents. Acetonitrile and propionitrile are soluble in water, but nitriles higher than propionitrile have low aqueous solubility. They are also insoluble in aqueous acids.
Health Hazard
ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: 2-METHYLGLUTARONITRILE is readily absorbed through the skin.
Fire Hazard
2-METHYLGLUTARONITRILE is combustible.
