Products Description of Phthalonitrile CAS#91-15-6
Phthalonitrile and other aromatic nitrile compounds are important organic synthesis intermediates with a wide range of applications. They are widely used in the pharmaceutical, pesticide, herbicide, insecticide, dye, fragrance, and natural product industries.
For example, 2,4-dinitro-6-cyanoaniline can be used to produce high-quality bright blue diazo dyes. Lemon nitrile is another example of an internationally developed nitrile fragrance, characterized by a sharp and strong lemon-like aroma.
