Storage method

Storage Precautions[22] Store in a cool, ventilated warehouse. Keep away from fire and heat sources. Keep container tightly sealed. They should be stored separately from oxidants, reducing agents, acids, and food chemicals, and avoid mixed storage. Equipped with the appropriate variety and quantity of fire equipment. The storage area should be equipped with emergency release equipment and suitable containment materials.

Synthesis method

Obtained from the reaction of benzyl chloride and sodium cyanide. The reaction was carried out in alcohol solvent with dimethylamine as catalyst. The reaction temperature is 80-100°C. After the crude product of phenylacetonitrile is obtained through the reaction, the finished product is obtained by distillation under reduced pressure. The purity of the refined product can reach 99%, and the yield is about 90%. Raw material consumption quota: benzyl chloride (96%) 1270kg/t, sodium cyanide 490kg/t, ethanol (95%) 544kg/t, dimethylamine (30%) 17kg/t

Refining method : The phenylacetonitrile is shaken vigorously with an equal amount of 50% sulfuric acid at 60°C to remove the isonitrile, and then the phenylacetonitrile is separated, washed with sodium bicarbonate solution and saturated brine, dried and distilled under reduced pressure. Other purification methods include passing phenylacetonitrile through a column filled with activated alumina and then distilling it in the presence of skeleton nickel.

Purpose

1. Used as gas chromatography stationary liquid for separation of gaseous hydrocarbons and halogenated hydrocarbons. It is also used as an intermediate for pesticides (such as phoxim), medicines (such as phenobarbital), dyes, etc.

2. Used as intermediates for medicines, pesticides, dyes and spices. Products produced using phenylacetonitrile include phenylacetic acid, phenylacetone, 2-cyanobenzyl oxime, 3-phenyl-5-chloromethylbenzisoxazole, methyl phenylacetate, phoxim emulsifiable concentrate, etc.

3. Used in organic synthesis. [23]
