 |  | N-OCTYL CYANIDE Usage And Synthesis |  
 | Chemical Properties | Clear yellow to orange liquid |  | Uses | Nonanenitrile was used as an organic nitrogen standard in the determination of a quantitative method for the speciation of ON within ambient atmospheric aerosol. |  | Synthesis Reference(s) | Journal of the American Chemical Society, 93, p. 195, 1971 DOI: 10.1021/ja00730a033 The Journal of Organic Chemistry, 64, p. 3544, 1999 DOI: 10.1021/jo982317b Tetrahedron Letters, 28, p. 295, 1987 DOI: 10.1016/S0040-4039(00)95711-3 |  | Safety Profile | Moderately toxic by ingestion.When heated to decomposition it emits toxic vapors ofNOx and CNí. |  | Purification Methods | Stir the nitrile with P2O5 (~5%), distil it from P2O5 and redistil it under a vacuum. IR should have CN but no OH bands. [Beilstein 2 IV 1204.] |
