Overview
What is Butyronitrile?
If you are looking for a reliable, high-specification aliphatic nitrile for your production line, you need a product that guarantees consistency at scale. As a premier global supplier, we provide premium-grade Butyronitrile, a clear, colorless liquid engineered specifically to meet the strict demands of advanced chemical synthesis and specialized manufacturing.
Chemical Identity of CAS 109-74-0
Recognized globally under the registry number CAS 109-74-0, this compound is a critical raw material and specialized solvent. It features a four-carbon chain with a terminal nitrile group, giving it distinct reactive capabilities and solvent properties.
To ensure seamless supply chain integration, procurement teams can identify this product by its standard industry nomenclature:
Butanenitrile (IUPAC systematic name)
Propyl Cyanide
1-Cyanopropane
n-Butyronitrile
Why High-Purity Organic Solvents Matter
In industrial manufacturing, there is no room for compromise on purity. Low-grade solvents introduce trace impurities that can stall catalytic reactions, alter pH balances, or ruin an entire batch of sensitive end-products.
We deliver Butyronitrile ≥99% purity because we know that high-purity organic solvents directly dictate your efficiency. Choosing our factory-direct chemical sourcing protects your equipment, maximizes your yield, and keeps your production timeline completely predictable.
Technical Specifications and Purity Matrix
We maintain strict quality control over our bulk butyronitrile supply, ensuring every batch meets the rigorous demands of industrial manufacturing. Our production process yields high-purity n-butyronitrile with a reliable butyronitrile ≥99% assay profile.
