Diphenylacetonitrile (CAS 86-29-3) is a white to off-white crystalline solid with a molecular formula of C₁₄H₁₁N and a molecular weight of 193.25. As an essential organic intermediate, this industrial-grade product (≥98% purity) is widely used in pharmaceutical synthesis (e.g., antipsychotic drug precursors), agrochemical development (e.g., insecticide intermediates), and polymer chemistry (e.g., thermal stabilizer synthesis). Its aromatic structure enables versatile reactivity in nucleophilic substitution and condensation reactions. Store in cool, dry conditions away from light and oxidizing agents, packaged in 25 kg fiber drums for secure transportation.
