description Product Description
Acetonitrile is widely used as a solvent in the purification of butadiene in refineries due to its ability to selectively extract butadiene from other hydrocarbons. In the pharmaceutical industry, it serves as a key solvent for the synthesis of various drugs and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly in liquid chromatography for analytical purposes. It is also employed in the production of DNA oligonucleotides and peptides, where its high polarity and miscibility with water are advantageous. Additionally, acetonitrile is utilized in battery manufacturing, specifically in lithium-ion batteries, as an electrolyte solvent. Its application extends to the field of organic synthesis, where it acts as a medium for reactions like the Ritter reaction and as a solvent for recrystallization processes. In analytical chemistry, it is a common mobile phase component in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) for separating and analyzing complex mixtures.
