Acetonitrile, also known as AN, cyanomethane, methyl cyanide, or R5, among other synonyms,
is a chemical compound with the CAS number 75-05-8.
It has the molecular formula C2H3N and the molar mass 41.05.
It is a colorless transparent liquid that can dissolve in water and many other solvents.
It can also dissolve some inorganic salts, such as silver nitrate, lithium nitrate, and magnesium bromide.
It can form an azeotropic mixture with water, with a boiling point of 76°C.
It is mainly used as a standard substance and a solvent for chromatographic analysis, such as high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) and gas chromatography.
It can also be used as a solvent for spectrophotometric determination, non-aqueous titration, carboxyl group determination, steroid recrystallization, and fatty acid extraction.
It is flammable and explosive, and can react strongly with oxidants, acids, and alkalis.
It has low toxicity, but it should be kept away from fire, heat, sunlight, and incompatible materials.
It should be stored in a cool and dry place.
