A strain of Klebsiella pneumoniae that used aliphatic nitriles as the sole source of nitrogen was adapted to benzonitrile as the sole source of carbon and nitrogen. Gas chromatographic and mass spectral analyses of culture filtrates indicated that K. pneumoniae

We report theoretical infrared and electronic absorption spectra of gauche and anti conformers of n-butyronitrile, their ions and 2-methylpropanenitrile isomer of n-butyronitrile. The coupled cluster theory (CCSD) and second order Møller-Plesset perturbation (MP2) theory with TZVP basis set are used

Butyramide is an important chemical commodity, which is used for the synthesis of hydroxamic acids and electrorheological fluids and for the preparation of beta-amodoorganotin compounds. The nitrile hydratase (Nhase) of Rhodococcus rhodochrous PA-34 catalyzed the conversion of butyronitrile to butyramide.

The developmental toxicities of eight aliphatic mononitriles were studied in Sprague-Dawley rats after inhalation exposure for 6 hr/day, during Days 6 to 20 of gestation. The range of exposure concentrations for acetonitrile was 900 to 1800 ppm; for propionitrile and
