Application

Benzonitrile can be used as:
  • An electrochemical solvent to investigate the electrochemistry, spectroscopic properties, and reactivity of a series of cobalt porphyrins with various substituents.
  • Building block or starting material in various organic synthesis reactions.
  • Employed in coupling reactions, such as Suzuki couplings or Heck reactions, to facilitate the formation of carbon-carbon bonds.

General description

Benzonitrile, also known as a phenyl cyanide compound, is a useful solvent and a versatile precursor to many derivatives. It is a good solvent for the study of inorganic, organic, anhydrous, and organometallic compounds.
