Primary Applications of Acetonitrile
Acetonitrile's unique properties make it an indispensable solvent and reagent across a wide range of applications:
High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC):
ACN is one of the most commonly used organic modifiers in HPLC mobile phases due to its low UV absorbance, low viscosity, and ability to elute a wide range of compounds. It provides excellent resolution and sensitivity in analytical separations.
Pharmaceutical Manufacturing:
Acetonitrile is extensively used as a solvent in the synthesis, purification, and formulation of various pharmaceutical active ingredients (APIs) and intermediates. Its ability to dissolve both polar and nonpolar compounds makes it highly versatile.
DNA and Peptide Synthesis:
ACN serves as a crucial solvent in oligonucleotide and peptide synthesis, facilitating coupling reactions and purification steps.
Extraction Solvent:
It is employed as an extraction solvent for fats, oils, and other organic compounds from various matrices in the food, environmental, and pharmaceutical industries.
Chemical Synthesis:
Acetonitrile is a versatile reaction medium for a wide variety of organic reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions, Diels-Alder reactions, and transition metal-catalyzed reactions. It can also act as a nitrile source in some transformations.
Spectroscopy:
Due to its relatively simple structure and spectral properties, ACN is often used as a solvent in UV-Vis, IR, and NMR spectroscopy.
