4-Fluoro benzonitrile (CAS# 1194-02-1)

Fluorobenzonitrile is an organic compound. It is a colorless liquid or solid with a pungent odor. The following is an introduction to the nature, use, preparation method and safety information of fluorobenzonitrile:

Quality:
- Fluorobenzonitrile has high volatility and vapor pressure and can evaporate into toxic gases at room temperature.
- It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol, ether and methylene chloride and insoluble in water.
- It can be decomposed at high temperatures to produce toxic hydrogen cyanide gas.

Use:
- Fluorobenzonitrile is widely used in the field of organic synthesis as a chemical reagent and intermediate.
- Fluorobenzonitrile can also be used in the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds.

Method:
- Fluorobenzonitrile is usually prepared by a reaction between cyanide and fluoroalkanes.
- A common preparation method is to react sodium fluoride and potassium cyanide in the presence of alcohol to form fluorobenzonitrile.

Safety Information:
- Fluorobenzonitrile is toxic and can cause irritation and damage to the skin and eyes. The affected area should be rinsed with plenty of water immediately after contact.
- When using fluorobenzonitrile, care should be taken to keep away from fire sources and high temperatures to avoid the production of toxic gases.
- Wear protective gloves, safety glasses, and respiratory protective equipment when handling and storing fluorobenzonitrile to ensure an adequately ventilated work environment.
