Description

Application

Glutaronitrile (1,3-Dicyanopropane) was used in the preparation of dicarbonyl compounds.

Glutaronitrile can be used as:

• An electrolyte additive in high energy/power Li-ion batteries.
• A glutarate ligand source to prepare zinc glutarate (ZnGA) by reacting with zinc perchlorate hexahydrate.
• A reactant to synthesize pentanedithioamide by reacting with Lawesson′s reagent in the presence of boron trifluoride etherate (BF₃.OEt₂).
