Succinonitrile, also butanedinitrile, is a nitrile, with the formula of C2H4(CN)2. It is a colorless waxy solid which melts at 58 °C.
Succinonitrile is produced by the addition of hydrogen cyanide to acrylonitrile (hydrocyanation):[3]
- CH2=CHCN + HCN → NCCH2CH2CN
Hydrogenation of succinonitrile yields putrescine (1,4-diaminobutane).
Applications
Script error: No such module "Unsubst". Succinonitrile may find applications as the "solvent" (while still in its waxy state) in lithium batteries.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
