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).

A palladium-catalyzed addition of potassium aryltrifluoroborates to aliphatic nitriles has been developed, leading to a wide range of alkyl aryl ketones with moderate to excellent yields. Moreover, several dinitriles (e.g., malononitrile, glutaronitrile, and adiponitrile) were applicable to this process for

Nitriles constitute almost 15% of the molecules observed in the interstellar medium (ISM), surprisingly only two dinitriles have been detected in the ISM so far. The lack of astronomical detections for dinitriles may be partly explained by the absence of

We probe the ionic conduction and the molecular dynamics in a pure and lithium-salt doped dinitrile molecular plastic crystal. While the diffusion of the Li(+) ions is decoupled from the molecular reorientational dynamics, in the undoped plastic crystal the temperature
