General description

Acetonitrile-d3 (CD3CN), an organo deutero compound, is an α-deuterated alkyl nitrile. Its synthesis from acetonitrile by base-catalyzed exchange with deuterium oxide has been reported. Its molecular rotational friction coefficient has been determined by measuring 2H and 14N nuclear magnetic resonance spin–lattice relaxation times. Its orientational dynamics in nanoporous glasses has been studied using optical Kerr effect spectroscopy.

Application

Acetonitrile-d3 was used as a solvent to record Raman spectrum.
It may be used as:
  • IR and NMR solvent.
  • Probe for zeolite acidity.
  • Cartridge eluent in HPLC- SPE (solid-phase extraction)-NMR technique.
