What is OCTANENITRILE?
Chemical properties
clear colorless to light yellow liquid
The Uses of OCTANENITRILE
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.
The Uses of OCTANENITRILE
Heptyl cyanide (Caprylonitrile) was used as a solvent to study the intermediates in the decomposition of aliphatic diazo-compounds.

Safety Profile
Moderately toxic by ingestion.When heated to decomposition it emits toxic vapors ofNOx and CNí.
Purification Methods
Wash the nitrile twice with half-volumes of conc HCl, then with saturated aqueous NaHCO3, dry over MgSO4, filter and distil it. [Beilstein 2 H 349, 2 I 148, 2 II 303, 2 III 798, 2 IV 993.]
