High-Purity Butyronitrile (CAS 109-74-0) Specifications
At Gotrays, we understand that consistency is the backbone of your production line. When sourcing Industrial grade Butyronitrile, you cannot afford deviations in purity that compromise your downstream synthesis. We provide high-quality Butanenitrile (also known as Propyl Cyanide or 1-Cyanopropane) that meets rigorous global standards.
Our product undergoes strict quality control measures, verified by Gas Chromatography (GC) to ensure a minimum purity of 99.5%. This precise chemical profile makes our Chemical intermediate C4H7N ideal for sensitive applications where low moisture and high stability are critical.

Primary Industrial Applications for Butanenitrile
When we supply Industrial grade Butyronitrile, we know it is doing heavy lifting in your production lines. This isn’t just a generic fluid; Butanenitrile is a specialized tool for precise chemical engineering. We primarily see our global partners utilizing this Chemical intermediate C4H7N in critical areas where purity is non-negotiable.
Critical Solvent for Pharmaceutical Intermediates
In the pharmaceutical sector, consistency is everything. Propyl Cyanide is the essential starting material for synthesizing Amprolium, a standard drug used globally for poultry coccidiosis. As a bulk chemical supplier, we understand that if your solvent isn’t up to spec, your pharmaceutical raw materials suffer.
- Drug Synthesis: It serves as the key Amprolium intermediate and precursor for various amine-based drugs.
- Reaction Medium: It acts as a stable organic nitrile solvent, providing the right polarity for sensitive organic reactions that standard solvents can’t handle.
Agrochemical and Chemical Synthesis
Beyond pharma, 1-Cyanopropane (CAS 109-74-0) is a workhorse in the agrochemical industry. Its unique chemical structure allows it to react efficiently to form acids and amides used in the production of pesticides and herbicides. Using high-quality Butyronitrile ensures that your downstream synthesis remains efficient, maximizing yield while minimizing waste.
Safety, Handling, and Storage Protocols for Butyronitrile
When handling Butyronitrile (often referred to as Propyl Cyanide or 1-Cyanopropane), safety is our absolute priority. Since this is a highly flammable and toxic liquid, we adhere to strict standards to ensure everyone stays safe during transport and usage. You cannot cut corners when dealing with volatile nitriles.
Essential Butyronitrile MSDS Highlights
Reviewing the Butyronitrile MSDS is mandatory before opening any container. Here are the critical hazards and precautions you need to know:
- High Flammability: Butanenitrile has a flash point of roughly 18°C (64°F). Keep it far away from open flames, sparks, or hot surfaces.
- Toxicity: It is toxic if swallowed, inhaled, or in contact with skin. Always wear full protective gear (PPE), including chemical-resistant gloves, goggles, and respirators.
- Ventilation: Use only in well-ventilated areas or fume hoods to prevent vapor buildup.
Storage Requirements for UN 2411 Compliance
To stay compliant with UN 2411 regulations, proper storage is non-negotiable. We recommend the following setup to maintain the stability of CAS 109-74-0:
- Cool and Dry: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated location away from direct sunlight to prevent pressure buildup.
- Incompatible Materials: Keep separated from strong oxidizing agents, acids, and bases to avoid dangerous reactions.
- Grounding: Ensure all drums and transfer equipment are grounded to prevent static discharge, which could ignite this organic nitrile solvent.
Packaging and Global Shipping Options for Butyronitrile

We understand that safe and efficient logistics are just as important as chemical purity. As a dedicated bulk chemical supplier, we provide packaging solutions designed to protect Butyronitrile (CAS 109-74-0) during international transit while maximizing your storage efficiency.
Since Propyl Cyanide is classified as a hazardous flammable liquid (UN 2411), we strictly adhere to international safety standards. We offer two primary packaging configurations to meet the needs of global pharmaceutical and industrial buyers:
Standard and Bulk Logistics Solutions
| Packaging Type | Net Weight | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Galvanized Iron Drum | 160 kg | Standard industrial drum, ideal for medium-scale manufacturing and easy warehousing. |
| ISO Tank | Bulk | High-volume solution for large-scale organic synthesis, offering cost-effective logistics. |
Our team manages the specific handling requirements for n-Butyronitrile, ensuring that moisture content remains controlled ($le$ 0.1%) and the product arrives in pristine condition. Whether you need a single drum trial or a continuous supply of ISO tanks, our supply chain is built for stability and safety.
