Heptadecanenitrile, with the CAS number 5399-02-0, is a long-chain aliphatic nitrile characterized by a straight-chain structure consisting of 17 carbon atoms and a cyano group (-C≡N) at one end. This compound is a member of the nitrile family, which are organic compounds containing a carbon-nitrogen triple bond. Heptadecanenitrile is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature, exhibiting low solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature, but it is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. Its molecular structure contributes to its relatively high boiling point compared to shorter-chain nitriles. Heptadecanenitrile is used in various applications, including as an intermediate in organic synthesis and in the production of specialty chemicals. Additionally, it may exhibit properties such as low volatility and stability under standard conditions, making it suitable for specific industrial processes. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as with many nitriles, due to potential toxicity and irritant effects.

N-HEPTADECANONITRILE

Heptadecanenitrile is a colorless liquid that is used as an industrial solvent, in the production of polycarboxylic acid and n-oxide, and as a reagent for nitration. It has been shown to be an acidic compound with a pKa of -1. Heptadecanenitrile can react with hydrochloric acid to form an aliphatic hydrocarbon (e.g., hexadecane) and hydrogen chloride. The health effects of heptadecanenitrile are not well documented, but it has been shown to be toxic if inhaled or ingested in large amounts. Heptadecanenitrile is also an electrolyte and can function as a fatty acid that dissolves in organic solvents such as ethers, chloroform, ketones, esters, glycerol, alcohols and acetone. The average particle size of heptadecanenitrile ranges from 1-10 mic
