Application

Adiponitrile is a key precursor for manufacturing nylon-6,6. It can undergo catalytic hydrogenation to form hexamethylenediamine (HMD). ADN shows promising potential as a solvent for electrolyte solutions used in high-voltage lithium batteries due to its high anodic and thermal stability.

Current affairs: Adiponitrile, used to produce nylon 6.6, is prepared from the renewable compound glutamic acid by an electrochemical route, involving electro-oxidative decarboxylation and Kolbe coupling reactions. The new route is an example of the use of glutamic acid as

Nine chemicals, with a range from extremely to slightly toxic, were used to measure the oral LD50 in both fasted (24-h) and non-fasted rats. Each chemical was tested as a solution or suspension in corn oil, responses within 14 days

Multivariate calibration problems often involve the identification of a meaningful subset of variables, from a vast number of variables for better prediction of output variables. A new graph theoretic method based on partial correlations (variable interaction network-VIN) is proposed. Many

Adiponitrile (ADN) has moderate acute toxicity with an oral LD50 in rats of 100 to 500 mg/kg and a 4-hr LC50 in rats of 1.71 mg/L (vapor plus aerosol). ADN produced slight eye but no skin irritation in rabbits. Repeated
