General description
Benzonitrile, also known as a phenyl cyanide compound, is a useful solvent and a versatile precursor to many derivatives. It is a good solvent for the study of inorganic, organic, anhydrous, and organometallic compounds.
Application
Benzonitrile can be used as:
- An electrochemical solvent to investigate the electrochemistry, spectroscopic properties, and reactivity of a series of cobalt porphyrins with various substituents.
- Building block or starting material in various organic synthesis reactions.
- Employed in coupling reactions, such as Suzuki couplings or Heck reactions, to facilitate the formation of carbon-carbon bonds.

The intention for the present study was to implement a microfluidic set-up for N-(11)C-methylations in a flow-through microreactor device with [(11)C]DASB as model-compound and [(11)C]CH(3)I and [(11)C]CH(3)OTf, respectively, as (11)C-methylation agents. Due to an observed "aging" effect of the (11)C-methylation
