General description

Propionitrile is an experimental duodenal ulcerogen and was found to stimulate gastric acid secretion in the rat.

Application

Propionitrile was used in mesoporous graphitic C3N4 catalyzed cyclotrimerisation of various nitriles into triazine derivatives. It was used in Raman spectroscopic study of complex formation between o-cresol and propionitrile.
